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-121653 uses metal socket ends and a 10 mm rod diameter, making it a practical OE-style replacement for lift support service where consistent extension and controlled compression are required. It fits 2011-2014 Chrysler 200 and 2008-2010 Chrysler Sebring applications listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6679 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds position
• Hatch, lid, or panel drop caused by loss of gas pressure
• Uneven or inconsistent opening effort
• Noise or binding from worn support hardware interfaces
• Replacement needs on Chrysler 200 and Chrysler Sebring gas strut applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, and end fitting style before installation. Compare the existing support to the Stabilus 5B-121653 to confirm the metal socket connections and attachment diameter match the vehicle mounting points. Replace only with the correct application-specific support for the listed Chrysler 200 and Chrysler Sebring fitments.
