Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-3445FO
Raise the hood with a smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-915409, a gas-charged strut measuring 21.71 inches that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2010-2019 Lincoln MKT (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine applications). Built on the Lift-O-Mat design with dynamic damping, it uses a longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston at an extension speed tuned for this application, gradually narrowing toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
When one hood support weakens, the other is usually near the end of its life, so for best results Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs. Signs a lift support may need replacement include a hood that drifts down, feels heavy to raise, or won't stay up on its own.

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 2010-2019 Lincoln MKT. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct application for your specific vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
This Stabilus lift support measures 21.71 inches. It is a gas-charged strut built on the Lift-O-Mat design with dynamic damping speed control.
Should I replace both hood supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs. When one support weakens, the other is usually near the end of its service life.
What is dynamic damping?
A longitudinal velocity-manifold groove in the tube wall controls how gas flows around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle stop at the end of the stroke.
How do I know my lift support needs replacing?
Common signs include a hood that drifts down, feels heavy to raise, or won't stay up on its own. If a worn lift support is the cause, this part replaces it.
