Hood Lift Support for 2014-2018 Subaru Forester - Stabilus 3B-957473

Hold your hood up smoothly and hands-free with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 3B-957473, a 26.77-inch hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2018 Subaru Forester — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment details. Built on Stabilus Lift-O-Mat technology, it uses an oil-channeling system and patented labyrinth piston to deliver the controlled, refined motion tuned for this application.

• Patented Labyrinth Piston: provides clog-free, smooth operation while opening and closing.
• Clog-free design: helps prevent binding caused by contamination.
• Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
• Based on the OE design: engineered to ensure proper fit, form, and function.

Custom-tuned oil viscosities and a precision seal-guide system give this Lift-O-Mat unit consistent damping and durable operation. It's easy to install and requires no special tools. Lift supports wear out together, so for best results replace them in pairs.
