Keep your hood raised and steady with the Stabilus hood lift support 4B-7354SR — a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on a range of Ford and Mercury models, among them the 1996-1999 Ford Taurus, the 1996-2001 Ford Sable, and the 1996-1999 Mercury Sable (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list). The manufacturer lists this support at 20.83 in.
Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus pairs an innovative oil-channeling system with the patented labyrinth piston, using custom-tuned oil viscosities and piston configurations to give this application its smooth, controlled motion. A precision seal-guide system and high-grade materials back its durable, reliable operation. If a worn support that no longer holds the hood is the issue, this replaces it — and for best results, replace lift supports in pairs.
