Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:1B-8537IF
Pop the hood and let it stay put with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 1B-529393, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support that holds your hood open and lowers it with smooth, controlled motion. It measures 36.61 inches and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Chrysler Crossfire, 1998-2008 Mercedes-Benz Crossfire, 2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK200, 1998-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK230, 2002-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG, and 2001-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus pairs an innovative oil-channeling system with the patented labyrinth piston, tuned with application-specific oil viscosities and piston configurations for refined, controlled damping. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold the hood evenly.
