Keep your rear hatch rising smoothly and holding steady with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-055236, a gas-charged strut with dynamic speed control that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2018 Honda HR-V. Measuring 22.56 in, it uses Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat design, in which a longitudinal groove (a velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application, and the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
- Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
- Easy installation: requires no special tools.
- OE-based design: built to the OE design for proper fit, form, and function.
If a worn or leaking lift support is why your liftgate drifts down, drops fast, or won't stay up, this replaces it. Supports are sold individually; for best results and balanced motion, replace both sides as a matched pair. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
