Detailed Description
The Stabilus 5B-950524 is an OE-style gas spring engineered to provide smooth, controlled motion for supported panels and lift applications on Kia Magentis and Kia Optima models. Its 560 N force rating, compact compressed length, and 305 mm extended length help it match the original support profile while maintaining consistent opening and closing behavior. This part number 5B-950524 is a direct-fit style replacement for vehicles that use plastic socket mounting at both ends.
This part cross-references Tuff Support 613922 for the same application.
What It Is Used For
- Restoring weak or failing lift support on the Kia Magentis
- Replacing a gas strut that no longer holds the panel open on the Kia Optima
- Correcting slow, uneven, or abrupt panel movement
- Addressing loss of support caused by worn internal gas pressure
- Replacing a support with damaged plastic socket ends
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket-style end fittings before installation. Compare the original support to the 5B-950524 to confirm rod diameter, tube diameter, and attachment diameter match the vehicle’s mounting points. Install with the vehicle panel fully supported and check that both plastic socket connections seat securely.
