Hold your engine hood safely open without fighting a prop rod using the Stabilus hood lift support 4B-357310 (also written 4B357310), a LIFT-O-MAT nitrogen-charged gas lift support engineered to OE specification for an exact direct fit. It replaces the worn OE strut on the 2010-2019 Ford Taurus, the 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan, and the 2015-2018 Ford Special Service Police Sedan, installing without modification.
This unit carries nylon ball-socket fittings at both ends, a rated maximum force of 54 lb, a compressed length of 12.19 in (309.5 mm), an extended length of 20.39 in (518 mm), and an 8.2 in stroke.
- Dynamic Damping: a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall controls gas flow around the piston for smooth, velocity-controlled motion with no bouncing or vibration, narrowing toward the end of stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
- LIFT-O-MAT: the original nitrogen-charged gas lift support design invented by Stabilus.
- Maintenance free: no lubrication, adjustment, or service required.
- Pressure-tested and force-verified at the factory; country of origin: United States.
Mounting hardware is not included. These applications use two lift supports per vehicle, so order two for a complete replacement. A worn gas support that no longer holds the hood up or drops slowly is a common sign replacement is needed.
