Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-3445FO
Keep the hood held open steady and lift it smoothly with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-163003 (also written 4B163003). This gas-charged lift support drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2013 Acura MDX, supporting the raised hood and helping guide it through a controlled opening motion. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Built as part of the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat line, this unit uses dynamic damping to deliver a fluid, controlled cycle instead of a bouncing or jerking one.
Weak, worn lift supports that let the hood drift down or feel spongy are signs a replacement may be needed. For balanced support, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs.

What does this part do?
It is a gas-charged lift support that holds the hood open and helps guide it through a smooth, controlled opening and closing motion.
What is dynamic damping?
A velocity-manifold groove in the tube wall controls gas flow around the piston, tuning extension speed and damping for a fluid cycle without bouncing or jerking.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides provide balanced, consistent support.
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.
