Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:2B-327192
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 Buyer's Guide tab 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.
For best results, replace in pairs.
