Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:3B-756948
Keep your hatch raised and steady with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-017667 (also written 3B017667), a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2011 Volkswagen Beetle — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. When a worn strut can no longer hold the liftgate up or slams it open, this Lift-O-Mat unit helps restore smooth, controlled motion.
Measures 23.62 inches. For best results, replace in pairs so both sides hold and cycle evenly.

What does this part do?
It's a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that helps raise and hold the liftgate open with a smooth, controlled opening motion.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs. Matched supports help both sides hold and cycle the liftgate evenly.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
A liftgate that won't stay up, drops on its own, opens too fast, or bounces and jerks during cycling are common signs a lift support may be worn.
Are special tools required to install it?
No. It's based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function and is easy to install with no special tools required.
