Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:4B-153682
Hold your Lexus hood open with steady, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-951976 (also written 4B951976), a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2006 Lexus LS430 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. Measuring 18.43 inches, this Lift-O-Mat unit uses a patented labyrinth piston for smooth opening and closing, so a strut that has lost gas charge and can no longer hold the hood up can be replaced.
Stabilus tunes each Lift-O-Mat with application-specific oil viscosities and piston configurations for the smooth, controlled damping engineered for this application, built with high-grade materials and a precision seal-guide system. For best results, replace in pairs so both supports hold the hood evenly. If a worn or leaking original lift support is why your hood drifts down, this unit replaces it.

What does a hood lift support do?
It's a gas-charged, hydraulically dampened strut that raises the hood and holds it open with controlled motion, then dampens its movement during opening and closing.
How long is this lift support?
This Stabilus Lift-O-Mat unit measures 18.43 inches. It's tuned specifically for its application with customized oil viscosity and piston configuration.
Should I replace both supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing in pairs. Installing both together helps the supports hold the hood evenly and open with balanced, controlled motion.
Are special tools required to install it?
No. This lift support is easy to install and requires no special tools, and it's based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.
