Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:3B-029499
Keep the rear hatch rising smoothly and holding steady with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-298073 (also written 3B298073). This temperature-compensating, gas-charged lift support measures 25.02 inches and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2019 Jeep Cherokee — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
A worn gas support that no longer holds the liftgate open, drifts down, or opens slowly may be a sign this part needs replacing. Because both supports share the load, Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs for balanced, even operation. This listing is for one lift support.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2019 Jeep Cherokee. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your specific vehicle.
What does the Temperature Compensating Valve do?
The internal TCV automatically adjusts the gas holding force with temperature — adding force in cold weather and easing it in heat — for consistent, controlled motion across temperature extremes.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs for balanced, even operation. This listing is for one lift support, so order two for a complete replacement.
What are signs this lift support needs replacing?
A support that no longer holds the liftgate open, lets it drift down, or opens slowly or unevenly may indicate it is worn and should be replaced.
Do I need special tools to install it?
No. It is based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function and installs without special tools. Follow the vehicle service procedure for safe handling.
