Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:5B-232348

$28.99

Description

Keep the hood up and steady with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-232348, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2003 Acura TL (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail), supporting the hood as it opens and helping hold it in the raised position.

Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion for smooth, controlled travel.
No bouncing or jerking: engineered for steady, refined movement during cycling.
Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
Based on the OE design: built to the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function, and easy to install with no special tools.

Stabilus's Lift-O-Mat uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — that lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this application; the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop. A worn lift support may signal it needs replacing when the hood drifts down, opens slowly, or won't stay up. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.
