Hold your hood up with confidence using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-256965, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2018 Lexus ES300h and 2013-2018 Lexus ES350 (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment). This Lift-O-Mat unit measures 26.97 inches and delivers the smooth, controlled motion engineered for this application.
Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function, it's easy to install and requires no special tools. If a worn, gas-depleted strut is why your hood drifts down or feels weak, this replaces it. For best results, replace in pairs.
