Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-978744
Open your hood smoothly and hold it steady with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-100181, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2017 Hyundai Azera. Measuring 16.85 inches, it uses Stabilus Lift-O-Mat technology, where a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall acts as a velocity manifold, letting gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application for a fluid, controlled opening motion.
Signs this support may need replacing include a hood that drifts down, opens slowly, or feels weak and won't stay up. Replacing both supports together keeps the hood balanced.

What vehicle does this hood lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2017 Hyundai Azera. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
What does the Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping do?
A groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston at a tuned speed, so the hood opens fluidly and stops gently at the end of the stroke without bouncing or jerking.
How do I know my hood lift support needs replacing?
Common signs include a hood that drifts down, opens slowly, feels weak, or won't stay up. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both supports at the same time?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs so the hood opens and holds evenly.
