If you are searching for a Stabilus 5B-312136 replacement gas strut or a 370 N lift support with 214 mm compressed length and 334 mm extended length, this part matches those requirements.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Search terms such as Stabilus 5B-312136 gas spring, 370 N lift support, and 8.425 inch compressed length strut are commonly used when verifying the correct replacement.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds position
• Slow, uneven, or uncontrolled opening motion
• Hatch, lid, or panel that drops too quickly
• Loss of support force in a worn gas strut
• Replacement needs for OE-style gas spring dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket style before ordering. Confirm that the 10 mm end attachment diameter and plastic socket connection match the original part on the vehicle. For fitment-based searches, this Stabilus 5B-312136 is referenced for applications such as Fits 2006-2011 Honda Civic, front right, and Fits 2006-2011 Honda Civic, front left where the original equipment uses the same gas spring specifications. Compare the existing strut against the replacement before installation to ensure proper alignment and travel.
