Product Overview
Stabilus 5B-801167 is a gas spring specified by its compressed and extended lengths, rod and tube diameters, and plastic socket end connections. Those dimensions matter when replacing a worn lift support because the correct length and force rating help the panel open and stay positioned as intended. For shoppers searching for a Mitsubishi Eclipse lift support or gas strut by part number, 5B-801167 provides a direct OE-style reference point.
Common Issues This Part Can Address
- Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds a panel open
- Slow, uneven, or uncontrolled opening action
- Panel drop after release
- Loss of support due to gas pressure decline over time
- Replacement need for a worn Mitsubishi Eclipse gas strut
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the existing support to Stabilus 5B-801167 to confirm the attachment diameter and overall dimensions match the vehicle application. Install with the vehicle panel securely supported and check operation after replacement.
