Hold the hood open with steady, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-028995 — a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support that drops in as a direct-fit replacement on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer. At 13.07 inches, it uses the Lift-O-Mat design with an innovative oil-channeling system for smooth opening and closing.
- Patented Labyrinth Piston: provides clog-free, smooth operation during opening and closing.
- Clog-free design: helps prevent binding due to contamination.
- Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
- Easy to install: requires no special tools.
Built on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function, this Lift-O-Mat unit is finely tuned with application-specific oil viscosities and piston configuration. Signs a lift support may need replacing include a hood that drifts down, won't stay up, or raises slowly — though other causes are possible. For best results, replace in pairs; this listing is for one support, so order two to do both sides.
