Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is specified for Volvo V70 and Volvo XC70 lift support applications where controlled opening and holding force are needed for the rear hatch or liftgate. The 1200 N output, combined with the listed compressed and extended lengths, helps match the original support geometry for proper panel movement and retention. If you are replacing a worn lift support on a 2001-2007 Volvo V70 or a 2003-2007 Volvo XC70, 5B-5768ZF provides the dimensional and connection details needed for a direct replacement search. This part cross-references Dorman - Conduct-Tite 86278 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear hatch or liftgate that drops instead of staying open
• Weak opening assist on the Volvo V70 or XC70
• Uneven or slow liftgate movement
• Original gas spring loss of pressure over time
• Noise or instability caused by a fatigued support strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end fittings before ordering. Confirm fitment against your vehicle year and model: Fits 2001-2007 Volvo V70, N/A; Fits 2003-2007 Volvo XC70, N/A. Replace only after checking that the mounting points and attachment diameters match the original hardware interface. For best results, support the hatch securely during service and compare the old strut to the new Stabilus 5B-5768ZF before installation.
