Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is specified for Jaguar applications that require the listed compressed and extended lengths, 8 mm rod diameter, 19 mm tube diameter, and plastic socket mounting at both ends. The 540 N force rating helps support panels that need controlled opening and closing action, while the OE-style dimensions make it easier to match the original support geometry on Jaguar Vanden Plas, XJ8, XJR, XJ6, and XJ12 vehicles. This part number, 5B-6387CC, also cross-references ACI 86922 for the same application.

Common Issues It May Address

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds a panel open
• Slow or uneven opening and closing of a hood, hatch, or similar panel
• Loss of support pressure from an aging gas strut
• Original support replacement needs on select Jaguar Vanden Plas and XJ-series models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the existing support to part number 5B-6387CC and confirm the mounting points on the vehicle match the 10 mm attachment diameter. Replace supports in the correct application location and test panel movement after installation to confirm proper lift and hold behavior.

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier of gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to match the listed application dimensions and connection style for direct replacement use.
