Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-056444
Hold the hood up steady and let it glide open with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-917082 (also written 4B917082), a gas-charged lift support built with dynamic damping speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2015 Kia Sorento (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications), measuring 18.27 inches so it matches the original hood strut for the listed applications.
Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus is the damping technology preferred by many automakers. If a worn support that drops or won't hold the hood is your issue, this replaces it — and for best results, replace supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold evenly.
Will this hood lift support fit my vehicle?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2015 Kia Sorento. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the application for your specific vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
It measures 18.27 inches, matching the original hood strut dimension for the listed applications.
What does the dynamic damping do?
A velocity-manifold groove routes gas around the piston for a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking, and narrows near the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
Should I replace both hood supports at once?
For best results, replace supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold the hood evenly.
What are the signs this lift support may need replacing?
A hood that slowly drops, won't stay up, or opens with jerky motion may indicate a worn support. Diagnose the cause before replacing to confirm it is the strut.
