Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-500228
Hold your hood open securely and lower it with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat Hood Lift Support 4B-7656WY. This 20.08-inch gas-charged lift support drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2014 Volvo XC90, using dynamic damping speed control to create a fluid opening motion.
Inside the Lift-O-Mat, a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall acts as a velocity manifold, letting gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this application; the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop. Signs the original lift support may need replacing include a hood that drifts or falls, will not stay raised, or rises slowly. Hood lift supports work as a pair, so for best results replace both sides together.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does this hood lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2014 Volvo XC90. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your specific vehicle.
What does a hood lift support do?
This gas-charged support holds the hood open and provides a controlled, damped motion as the hood rises and lowers, so it does not slam or drift down.
Should I replace both hood lift supports at once?
They work as a pair, so for best results Stabilus recommends replacing both sides together for balanced, even support.
What is Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping?
It uses a groove pressed into the tube wall as a velocity manifold, letting gas flow around the piston with tuned speed and damping for a fluid opening and a gentle, controlled stop.
How do I know if my hood lift support is worn?
Common signs include a hood that drifts or falls, will not stay raised, or rises slowly or unevenly. If a failed support is the cause, this part replaces it.
