Detailed Description

This Stabilus gas spring is specified for Porsche 911 fitments including 1965-1976 models without spoiler, 1977-1989 models without spoiler and engine lid, 1990-1993 engine lid applications, 1994 engine lid without spoiler, 1995-1997 engine applications, 1996-1997 engine lid applications, and 1998 old body style engine applications. The 5B-9365BE uses a compact 176 mm compressed length and 256 mm extended length to match the original support geometry on these Porsche 911 applications.

With metal blade rod and tube connections, this gas spring is built for direct replacement use where the original lift support has weakened, lost pressure, or no longer holds the panel in position. The 370 N force rating is appropriate for engine lid and engine support applications on the Porsche 911 platform.

Common Problems It Can Help Solve

• Engine lid that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent lift support on Porsche 911 engine lid panels
• Loss of holding force from an aging gas spring
• Difficulty opening or positioning the rear engine lid
• Support issues caused by worn internal gas pressure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and end connection style before installation. Confirm the application against the Porsche 911 year, body style, and spoiler notes, since fitment varies by model year and configuration. Replace the support only after the panel is properly secured to prevent sudden movement during service.

Quality Assurance

Stabilus is a recognized OE supplier for gas springs and lift supports, and this part is built to match the specified dimensions and force rating for the listed Porsche 911 applications.
