Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-100181
Raise the hood smoothly and hold it open with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-277997, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that measures 17.99 inches. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2017-2020 Acura MDX — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level application details.
This is Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat design, which uses a longitudinal groove (a velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application. The groove profile gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold and cycle evenly.
