Description

Open and hold the hatch with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat Liftgate Lift Support 3B-026247. This gas-charged strut drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1999 BMW 318ti and 1999-2000 BMW 323ti — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. It uses dynamic damping to control the opening speed and an internal compression spring that helps release the liftgate from the latch for a smoother start to travel.

Dynamic damping speed control: a velocity manifold groove pressed into the tube wall meters gas flow around the piston for a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking.
Integrated lift assist: an internal mechanical spring compresses in the closed position to give an added boost during initial opening.
Controlled stop: the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, low-impact finish.
Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.

Based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function, it installs easily with no special tools. Extended length is 23.46 inches. If a worn strut that no longer holds the hatch up or opens slowly is the cause, this replaces it — for best results, replace in pairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this lift support do?

It is a gas-charged strut that uses dynamic damping to control the liftgate's opening speed and an internal compression spring to help release the hatch from the latch for smooth, controlled motion.

Which vehicles does the 3B-026247 fit?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1999 BMW 318ti and 1999-2000 BMW 323ti. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.

Should I replace both supports at once?

For best results, replace them in pairs. Both struts typically wear at a similar rate, so replacing both together gives more balanced, consistent support.

How is the opening motion controlled?

A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall meters gas flow around the piston, delivering a fluid opening with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle stop at the end of the stroke.

Is installation difficult?

No. It is based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function, and installs easily with no special tools required.
