Description

Hold your hood up safely and keep it from drifting down with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-500228, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support measuring 17.01 inches. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2005 Lexus GS300, 1998-2000 Lexus GS400, and 2001-2005 Lexus GS430 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine details.

Patented Labyrinth Piston: provides clog-free, smooth operation during opening and closing.
Clog-free design: helps prevent binding caused by contamination.
Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
Easy installation: requires no special tools and is based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function.

Part of the Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus line, this support uses an oil-channeling system and labyrinth piston design tuned with application-specific oil viscosities and piston configurations to deliver smooth, controlled motion. A precision seal-guide system and high-grade materials support durable, reliable operation. For best results, replace in pairs so both supports hold the hood evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this hood lift support do?

It is a gas-charged, hydraulically dampened strut that supports the hood as it opens and holds it up. A worn one may let the hood drift down or feel weak when raised.

Which vehicles does the 4B-500228 fit?

It fits the 1998-2005 Lexus GS300, 1998-2000 Lexus GS400, and 2001-2005 Lexus GS430. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.

Should I replace both hood supports at once?

Stabilus recommends replacing in pairs. Installing both sides together helps the hood raise and hold evenly, since the second support is often near the end of its life too.

Do I need special tools to install it?

No. This lift support is designed for easy installation and requires no special tools. Follow your vehicle's service procedure for the correct steps.

How is the labyrinth piston helpful?

The patented labyrinth piston is designed to provide clog-free, smooth operation during opening and closing, helping prevent binding due to contamination.
