Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:3B-572215
Raise your hood and hold it open with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-103731, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2005-2012 Toyota Avalon. Measuring 25.95 inches, it is based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.
Stabilus builds this unit on its 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 application. The groove profile narrows gradually toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop with minimal impact. This damping technology is the type specified by leading automakers for refined, consistent performance.
