Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-100181
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.
If a worn strut that no longer holds the hood or drifts closed is the issue, this Lift-O-Mat support replaces it.

What is the Stabilus 4B-159896?
It's a gas-charged Lift-O-Mat hood lift support with dynamic damping speed control, measuring 16.83 inches, designed to hold the hood open and dampen its travel for a smooth, controlled motion.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport, 2008-2015 Saturn Captiva Sport, and 2008-2010 Saturn Vue. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your application.
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.
What makes dynamic damping different?
A velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall controls gas flow around the piston, delivering a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle stop at the end of the stroke.
Are special tools required to install it?
No. This lift support is easy to install and requires no special tools; consult your vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
