Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:4B-816941
Raise your rear hatch with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-014232. This gas-charged Lift-O-Mat unit measures 22.32 inches and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Kia Sportage, using dynamic damping speed control and an internal compression spring to release the liftgate from the latch and hold it open.
Lift supports wear as a matched pair, so for best results replace both sides together. Worn supports show up as a hatch that drifts down, feels weak, or won't stay up.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does this lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2010 Kia Sportage. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the match for your specific vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
The Stabilus 4B-014232 measures 22.32 inches, matching the OE design for the listed Kia Sportage application.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs. Lift supports wear together, so installing a matched pair helps keep the liftgate opening evenly and holding steady.
What does the internal spring do?
An internal mechanical compression spring compresses in the closed position and gives an added boost during initial opening, helping release the liftgate off the latch mechanism.
How does the dynamic damping work?
A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall controls gas flow around the piston, delivering a fluid opening motion without bouncing or jerking and a gentle, controlled stop.
