Hold your hood up with steady, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 4B-953888, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support measuring 18.43 inches. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2001 Infiniti Q45 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
Stabilus Lift-O-Mat pairs an innovative oil-channeling system with the patented labyrinth piston, tuned for this application with customized oil viscosity and piston configuration to deliver refined, controlled motion. A precision seal-guide system and high-grade materials support durable, reliable operation. If a worn or leaking lift support is why your hood drifts down or feels weak, this replaces it. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.
