Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-669449
Keep the hood raised and steady with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-449325, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that measures 19.96 inches. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy and 2010-2014 Subaru Outback — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine coverage.
Part of Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat family, this support uses a longitudinal groove (a velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall, letting gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application. The groove profile narrows gradually toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
Signs a lift support may need replacing include a hood that drifts down, opens slowly, or won't stay up on its own.

What vehicles does this hood lift support fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy and 2010-2014 Subaru Outback. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
This Stabilus lift support measures 19.96 inches. Confirm it matches your original before ordering.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs. Doing both sides together gives more balanced, even opening and closing motion.
What does the dynamic damping do?
Gas flows around the piston through a velocity-manifold groove, delivering a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking, and a gentle, controlled stop near the end of the stroke.
How do I know my hood lift support is failing?
Signs may include a hood that drifts down, opens slowly, or won't stay raised on its own. If a worn lift support is the cause, this replaces it.
