Detailed Description

Stabilus 5B-174510 is a vehicle gas strut engineered to restore proper support and motion control where a liftgate, hatch, or spoiler-mounted panel needs steady assistance. The specified dimensions and force rating are important for matching the original support characteristics, helping the panel open smoothly and stay in position during use. This part number is commonly referenced for 2003-2008 Mazda 6 with spoiler, as well as select 2006-2007 Lincoln and Mercury applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. If you are searching for a Stabilus 5B-174510 lift support for Mazda 6, Lincoln MKZ, Lincoln Zephyr, or Mercury Milan, verify the vehicle year and notes before ordering.
