Stabilus Hood Lift Support P/N:5B-0488VQ
Hold the hood open smoothly and steadily with the Stabilus Hood Lift Support 5B-950781, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that measures 14.53 inches. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2018 Acura RDX — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. Over time, a tired strut loses gas charge and lets the hood drift down or feel heavy; if a worn support is the cause, this replaces it.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold evenly.
