Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:3B-0593PZ
Raise and hold your Mercedes-Benz hood with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-1263MO, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 S430, 2000-2006 S500, 2000-2006 S600, 2001-2006 S55 AMG, 2005-2010 S65 AMG, and 2006 S350 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
A gas-charged hood lift support counterbalances the hood's weight so it rises smoothly and stays raised. Signs the original may need replacing include a hood that drifts down on its own, feels heavy to lift, or opens with a jerk. For balanced operation, replace both supports as a pair.

What does this hood lift support do?
It's a gas-charged strut that counterbalances the hood's weight, helping it rise smoothly and stay held open. Dynamic damping speed control gives a fluid motion with no bouncing or jerking.
Which vehicles does the 3B-1263MO fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2006 Mercedes-Benz S430, S500 and S600, the 2001-2006 S55 AMG, the 2005-2010 S65 AMG, and the 2006 S350. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Should I replace both supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs. Installing two matched supports helps the hood open and hold evenly on both sides.
What are signs this lift support needs replacing?
Common signs include a hood that drifts down on its own, feels heavy to raise, or opens with a jerk. If a worn support is the cause, replacing it restores controlled operation.
Is any special tool needed to install it?
No. It's easy to install and requires no special tools, and it's based on the OE design to match the original's fit, form, and function.
