Hold your hood up smoothly and steadily with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-770302 (also written 5B770302), a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications — the 2013-2018 Audi S8 and the 2014-2018 Audi A8 Quattro; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
This Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus support measures 11.30 inches and uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — that lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application. The groove profile narrows gradually toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop with minimal impact. For best results, replace both sides in pairs.
