Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:3B-240704
Hold your hood open with steady, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-7660BY, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support measuring 26.34 inches. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2006 Jaguar XK8 and the 2000-2004 Jaguar XKR — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications.
This is a Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus, using an oil-channeling system and the patented labyrinth piston, with oil viscosities and piston configurations tuned for this application to deliver smooth, controlled damping. A precision seal-guide system and high-grade materials support durable, reliable operation. A weak or leaking gas strut that no longer holds the hood up is a common sign this support may need replacing; for best results, replace in pairs.
