Keep your Honda Fit's rear liftgate rising smoothly and holding open with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-296862 (also written 4B296862). This 16.87-inch gas-charged lift support drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2020 Honda Fit — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level details. As a Lift-O-Mat unit by Stabilus, it uses a longitudinal groove (a velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall that lets gas flow around the piston, with extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application.
If a worn lift support is the cause of a liftgate that drops, drifts, or won't stay up on your Fit, this replaces it. Signs a lift support may need replacing include a slow-raising gate, a panel that no longer holds open, or hissing at the strut. For best results, replace in pairs.
What vehicle does this lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2020 Honda Fit. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.
What does a liftgate lift support do?
It is a gas-charged strut that helps raise the rear liftgate and holds it open once lifted, using internal gas pressure and damping to control the motion.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs for best results, since both supports typically wear at a similar rate and share the load of holding the gate open.
What is Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping?
It uses a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall that lets gas flow around the piston, tuning extension speed and damping for a fluid opening and a gentle, controlled stop.
What are signs my lift support needs replacing?
Common signs include a liftgate that drops or drifts down, won't stay open, rises slowly, or hisses. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as other parts can be involved.
