Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-7581QI

Hold your hood open with a steady, controlled lift using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-7581QI, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2006 Ford Expedition and 1997 Ford F-250 HD. This 13.19-inch unit uses the Lift-O-Mat design by Stabilus, pairing gas pressure with hydraulic damping so the hood raises and settles with smooth, controlled motion. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level application list.

  • Patented Labyrinth Piston: provides clog-free, smooth operation during opening and closing, and its clog-free design helps prevent binding due to contamination.
  • Hydraulic damping: the Lift-O-Mat oil-channeling system and labyrinth piston are tuned with application-specific oil viscosities to deliver refined, controlled motion.
  • Corrosion resistance: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
  • Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function, and it's easy to install with no special tools.

When one strut weakens, the other is usually close behind, so for best results replace them in pairs. Signs a lift support may need replacing include a hood that drifts down, feels heavy, or won't stay up on its own.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does the 4B-7581QI fit?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2006 Ford Expedition and the 1997 Ford F-250 HD. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.

How does this lift support work?

It is a gas-charged strut with hydraulic damping. The internal gas pressure raises and holds the hood, while the Lift-O-Mat oil-channeling system and labyrinth piston control the motion.

Should I replace both lift supports at once?

For best results, replace them in pairs. When one support weakens, the other is usually close behind, so replacing both together keeps the hood lifting evenly.

How long is this lift support?

This unit measures 13.19 inches. Confirm it matches your original before ordering using the Buyer's Guide tab.

What are signs my hood lift support is failing?

Common signs include a hood that slowly drifts down, feels heavy to hold up, or will not stay open on its own. If a worn support is the cause, replacing it helps restore steady hood support.
