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 "Vehicles it fits" section 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.
- Dynamic damping speed control: Stabilus Lift-O-Mat uses a longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall, letting gas flow around the piston for a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Controlled, gentle stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop with minimal impact.
- Corrosion resistance: part coatings tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form and function; easy to install and requires no special tools.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold evenly.
