For buyers searching for a Mercedes-Benz SL500 front gas strut, SL600 hood support strut, or SL65 AMG front hood lift support, this Stabilus 5B-8467UA listing provides the key dimensional and attachment details needed for a proper match. The plastic socket connections on both ends and the 10 mm end attachment diameter should be verified against the original part before installation.

What This Part Helps Address

• Weak hood lift support on the front of the vehicle
• Hood that drops too quickly when opened
• Uneven or inconsistent hood holding force
• Replacement needs for worn gas spring hardware on listed Mercedes-Benz SL models
• Fitment matching for OE-style hood support service

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s model year, chassis break point, and front mounting style before ordering. This part fits 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL500, front, only to chassis/VIN 113587, so VIN verification is important for that application. Compare the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and plastic socket ends to the removed unit to ensure correct fitment on the Mercedes-Benz SL500, SL600, SL55 AMG, or SL65 AMG application.

Installation should be performed with the hood securely supported. Inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before attaching the new gas spring.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier of gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to match the listed dimensional and force specifications for the confirmed Mercedes-Benz applications.
