Detailed Description
This Stabilus gas spring is engineered around the listed dimensions and force output to match the original support geometry used on select Ferrari 456 models. It fits 1995-1998 Ferrari 456 GT, 1997-1998 Ferrari 456 GTA, and 1999 Ferrari 456 M, making it a direct-fit option for owners searching for a Ferrari 456 hood strut or lift support replacement by part number 5B-6511IJ. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Solve
- Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds a panel open
- Slow or uneven opening action on supported body panels
- Drooping hood, hatch, or compartment lid
- Loss of controlled closing resistance
- Replacement needs for a worn Ferrari 456 gas strut
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket style before installation. Match the 10 mm end attachment diameter and plastic socket connection points to the original hardware layout on the vehicle. Compare the removed support to Stabilus 5B-6511IJ before final installation to confirm correct fitment on the Ferrari 456 GT, Ferrari 456 GTA, or Ferrari 456 M.
