Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:4B-252185
Keep the rear hatch rising with a smooth, controlled motion and holding steady once open with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-275846. This 19.86-inch, temperature-compensating gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2018 Toyota RAV4 — see the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact application.
The temperature-sensitive valve automatically adjusts gas force to conditions — adding force in the cold for safe opening while easing force in the heat for easier closing — helping maintain consistent operation across temperature extremes. If a weak or worn strut is why your liftgate drifts down or feels sluggish, this support replaces it. For best results, replace in pairs.
