Raise the hood and let it settle with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 2B-852313, a gas-charged lift support measuring 28.62 inches. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX and 2019-2021 Lincoln Nautilus, holding the hood securely in the raised position for service access. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
This is a Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus, built around dynamic damping speed control. A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall — the velocity manifold — lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application, and the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
- Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
- Easy installation: requires no special tools.
- Based on the OE design: to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.
For best results, replace in pairs.
