Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-159896
$22.99

Lift your hood with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat Hood Lift Support 4B-159896 — a gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2008-2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport, 2008-2015 Saturn Captiva Sport, and 2008-2010 Saturn Vue. Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function, this 16.83-inch unit holds the hood open and dampens its travel so it settles gently.

  • Dynamic damping technology: a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall guides gas flow around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
  • Gentle stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a controlled, minimal-impact stop.
  • Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
  • Easy installation: requires no special tools; for best results, replace in pairs.

If a worn strut that no longer holds the hood or drifts closed is the issue, this Lift-O-Mat support replaces it.

Should I replace both hood supports at once?

For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs so both sides open and hold the hood evenly.
