Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus pairs an oil-channeling system with the patented labyrinth piston, tuned with application-specific oil viscosities and piston configurations for consistent, controlled motion. If a worn or leaking strut is letting your hood drift down, this replaces it. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.
