Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is a direct-fit OE-style support component for Chevrolet Corvette models from 1998 through 2013. The 5B-095401 uses plastic socket connections at the rod and tube ends, along with a compact 6 mm rod diameter and 15 mm tube diameter, to match the specified mounting geometry. Its 135 N force rating is suited to applications that require measured opening and holding support without excessive resistance. This part cross-references Dayco 84066 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a weak or failed lift support on a Chevrolet Corvette
• Restoring controlled opening and closing action
• Addressing a hatch, lid, or panel that no longer stays in position

• Replacing a gas spring with worn socket connections

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the existing support to the Stabilus 5B-095401 to confirm the mounting diameter and overall dimensions match the Corvette application. Inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before installing the new gas spring, and replace any worn clips or sockets if needed.
