Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:3B-163242
$41.99

Hold your liftgate open smoothly and keep it from dropping with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-163242, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 2007-2013 Acura MDX (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). This is a Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus unit measuring 22.60 inches, engineered to support the weight of the rear glass or hatch and provide controlled, cushioned motion through the opening cycle.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: a longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston for a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
  • Controlled stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop with minimal impact.
  • Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
  • Easy installation: based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, and installs with no special tools.

If a worn support is letting your liftgate sag, drift, or slam, this replaces it. For balanced operation, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs.
