Hold your Lexus GS hood up without the drift, sag, or slam using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-016980, a gas-charged strut with Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2006 Lexus GS300, 2007-2011 Lexus GS350, 2005-2007 Lexus GS430, 2007-2011 Lexus GS450H, and 2008-2011 Lexus GS460 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details on the full list. This unit measures 20.32 inches.
Inside, a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall (the velocity manifold) lets gas flow around the piston, with the groove profile narrowing toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop instead of a hard bang.
- Dynamic damping: speed-controlled gas flow creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Corrosion resistance: part coatings are tested to automotive standards.
- Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.
- Easy to install — requires no special tools.
Sold individually; for best results Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides hold and open evenly. If a worn, gas-depleted strut is why your hood drifts down or drops fast, this replaces it.
