Raise your hood smoothly and hold it steady with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-2594MQ, a gas-charged Lift-O-Mat unit that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1999 Acura TL. This 14.84-inch strut uses dynamic damping speed control to deliver a fluid, controlled opening motion with no bouncing or jerking as it cycles.
Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus relies on a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall — a velocity manifold that lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this specific application. The groove profile gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop with minimal impact.
Signs your original support may need replacing include a hood that drifts down on its own or won't stay up.
