Raise your hood with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 2B-358286 (also written 2B358286), a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that measures 29.02 inches. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2006 Toyota Camry — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific applications.
This is Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat design, which uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold — pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application. The groove profile narrows gradually toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop with minimal impact.
- Dynamic damping: the speed-control design creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Corrosion resistance: part coatings are tested to automotive standards.
- Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.
- Easy to install and requires no special tools.
Worn supports that no longer hold the hood up or drift closed are signs replacement may be needed. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.
