Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is built for applications that require controlled lift, support, and hold-open function in automotive body panels and related assemblies. The 5B-798428 specification combines a compact compressed length with a 278.5 mm extended length, making it a direct-spec replacement choice where the original strut uses plastic socket ends and a 630 N force rating. For buyers searching for Stabilus 5B-798428, 798428, or SG410002, this part provides the dimensional and connection details needed to match the original setup.

Compatible With select vehicle applications including Volvo XC90 and Volvo S60, depending on the exact factory gas spring specification. Verify the rod and tube connection style, length, and force rating against the original part before ordering. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Weak or failing lift support on a hood, hatch, or tailgate
• Panel drop after opening due to loss of gas pressure
• Uneven or inconsistent support during opening and closing
• Replacement for a worn OE gas strut with plastic socket ends
• Restoring controlled movement in a vehicle support assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Match the original compressed length, extended length, force rating, and end fittings before installation. Confirm that both rod and tube connections use plastic sockets and that the mounting points align with the vehicle’s original hardware and bracket geometry. If the existing support shows oil leakage, slow extension, or reduced holding force, replace it as a matched-spec unit rather than forcing the panel into position.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier for gas springs and lift supports, and this part is manufactured to the listed dimensional and force specifications for consistent replacement performance.
