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.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: a velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, tuned for extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application.
  • Gentle, controlled stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a soft finish with minimal impact.
  • Corrosion-tested coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
  • Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form and function, and easy to install with no special tools.

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.
