Hold your hood open smoothly and steadily with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-878579, a 14.69-inch gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2008 Infiniti FX35 and 2003-2008 Infiniti FX45 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details), replacing a worn strut that lets the hood drift or drop.
This is Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat design, which uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold — pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this application. The groove profile narrows gradually toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
- Dynamic damping: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
- Easy installation: no special tools required.
- OE-based design: engineered to match the fit, form, and function of the original for the listed applications.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold with equal force.
