Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:5B-017120
Hold your hood up smoothly and keep it there with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-023619, a gas-charged, 14.76-inch Lift-O-Mat strut that fits the 2004-2013 Audi A8 Quattro and the 2007-2009 Audi S8 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). When a worn strut can no longer hold the hood, it can drift down or feel jerky — this unit is designed to restore controlled, hands-free operation.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open evenly. Built from high-quality materials and fine-tuned for smooth, reliable function.

What vehicles does this hood lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2013 Audi A8 Quattro and the 2007-2009 Audi S8. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
What does a hood lift support do?
This gas-charged strut helps raise the hood and hold it open. Over time a worn support can let the hood drift down or move unevenly; this unit is designed to restore controlled, hands-free operation.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs for best results, so both sides open at the same rate and hold the hood evenly.
What is Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping?
A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, delivering a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle, controlled stop at the end of the stroke.
Is this support hard to install?
No. It is based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function, is easy to install, and requires no special tools. Follow the vehicle service procedure.
