Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:3B-919219
Hold your Volvo's hood open with steady, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-6512AJ, a 24.60-inch hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1985-1990 Volvo 760, 1991-1993 Volvo 940, 1992-1997 Volvo 960, and the 1997-1998 Volvo S90 and V90 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. As the gas charge weakens, a hood that drifts down or won't stay raised is a common sign this support may need replacing.
Part of the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat line, it uses an oil-channeling system and the labyrinth piston design, tuned with application-specific oil viscosity and piston configuration for refined, controlled damping. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.

What does a hood lift support do?
It's a gas-charged, hydraulically dampened strut that raises the hood and holds it open with smooth, controlled motion, then supports it while you work.
How do I know my lift support needs replacing?
Common signs are a hood that drifts down, won't stay raised, or opens slowly — indications the support's gas charge may have weakened. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both hood lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs for best results, so both sides provide even, consistent support.
Are special tools required to install this part?
No. Stabilus states this lift support is easy to install and requires no special tools. Consult your vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
