Hold your hood open with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-374544, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that measures 12.24 inches. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Infiniti M35 and 2006-2010 Infiniti M45. Stabilus builds this Lift-O-Mat around 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 specific application, so the hood opens with a fluid, refined motion.
- Dynamic damping: Continuous gas flow controlled by the custom groove geometry delivers a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Gentle stop: The groove profile gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke for a controlled stop with minimal impact.
- Corrosion resistance: Part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function; easy to install with no special tools required.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs. If a worn strut that no longer holds the hood is the cause, this replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does this hood lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 Infiniti M35 and 2006-2010 Infiniti M45. See the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
What does dynamic damping do?
A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall controls gas flow around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
How does it deliver a gentle stop?
The groove profile gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke, allowing the hood to reach a controlled stop with minimal impact.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides provide even, balanced support.
Do I need special tools to install it?
No. It is based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, and is easy to install with no special tools required.
