Hold your liftgate open with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-012158 (also written 4B012158). This 22.40-inch gas-charged lift support drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2015 BMW X1; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. Built on Stabilus' Lift-O-Mat design with dynamic damping, it supports the weight of the raised liftgate and helps guide it through a fluid opening motion. When the original struts weaken and the gate drifts down, drops, or feels bouncy, this is the replacement that restores proper support if worn lift supports are the cause.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold the gate evenly.

What vehicle does the Stabilus 4B-012158 fit?
It is a direct-fit lift support for the 2010-2015 BMW X1. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your exact vehicle.
What does this lift support do?
This gas-charged support holds the weight of the raised liftgate and guides its opening motion through Stabilus' dynamic damping for a smooth, controlled stroke and gentle stop.
How do I know my lift supports need replacing?
Signs include a liftgate that won't stay up, drifts or drops down, opens slowly, or feels bouncy or jerky. If worn lift supports are the cause, this replaces them.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs. Doing both sides together helps the liftgate raise and hold evenly. This listing is for one support.
Are special tools required to install it?
No. This lift support is designed for easy installation and requires no special tools. Follow the vehicle service procedure for removal and mounting.
