Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:3B-253106
Keep your hood raised smoothly and hold it steady with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-5001ZR (also written 3B5001ZR), a 28.43-inch gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2011 Audi A6, 2005-2011 Audi A6 Quattro, and 2007-2011 Audi S6 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
This is a Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus. A longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this application. The groove profile gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop with minimal impact. When a worn support that no longer holds the hood is the cause, this replaces it. For best results, replace in pairs.

How long is this lift support?
The manufacturer lists it at 28.43 inches. It is a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control.
Should I replace both hood supports at the same time?
For best results, replace them in pairs. Matched supports help keep the hood opening motion even and balanced.
What is dynamic damping speed control?
A longitudinal velocity-manifold groove in the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle stop at the end of the stroke.
Is it hard to install and is it corrosion resistant?
It is easy to install and requires no special tools. Its part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
