Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:3B-977549
Raise and hold your rear hatch with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-598471, a 24.35-inch gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2018 Buick Encore, 2013-2018 Chevrolet Encore, and 2013-2018 Chevrolet Trax — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. A worn or leaking strut that can no longer hold the liftgate up, or that drops and slams, is a sign this support may need replacing.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold and cycle evenly.

What vehicles does this lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2018 Buick Encore, 2013-2018 Chevrolet Encore, and 2013-2018 Chevrolet Trax. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
What does the Liftgate Lift Support do?
It's a gas-charged strut that helps raise the rear liftgate and hold it open, using dynamic damping speed control for a smooth, fluid opening motion without bouncing or jerking.
How is Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping different?
A longitudinal velocity-manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, and the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
The manufacturer recommends replacing in pairs for best results, so both sides hold and cycle evenly. Each is sold individually.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
If the liftgate no longer stays up, drifts down on its own, or slams shut, the gas support may have lost charge and be a candidate for replacement.
