Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is engineered around the listed dimensions and connection style to match the original support geometry on covered vehicles. The 5B-096118 uses plastic socket attachments at both ends and a 390 N force rating, making it a practical replacement for liftgate, hood, or decklid support applications where consistent motion control matters.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds position
• Slow, uneven, or uncontrolled opening action
• Drooping panels that are difficult to keep raised
• Noise or resistance caused by worn gas struts
• Replacement needs on Chrysler Cirrus, Sebring, and Dodge Stratus applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and socket style before installation. Compare the existing support to Stabilus 5B-096118 to confirm the correct application, especially on Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus models with spoiler equipment. Inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before installing the new gas spring.
