What vehicles does the Stabilus 4B-033844 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2013 Volkswagen Golf, 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R, and 2010-2014 Volkswagen GTI. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
What does this lift support do?
It's a gas-charged support that helps hold the liftgate open and lowers it in a controlled way. Its dynamic damping creates a fluid opening motion without bouncing or jerking.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs. When one side is weak, the other is usually near the end of its service life, and matched supports keep the liftgate balanced.
What is Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping?
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.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
Common signs are a liftgate that won't stay up, drops on its own, opens or closes slowly, or feels jerky. Confirm the cause before replacing.
