Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:4B-816941
Keep the tailgate rising smoothly and holding open with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-6162RU, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Toyota Matrix (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details), measures 17.01 inches, and needs no special tools to fit.
Over time a gas lift support loses charge and can no longer hold the liftgate open or raise it fully — common signs it may need replacing. Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs for balanced, even operation. If a worn or leaking support is the cause of a drooping liftgate, this replaces it.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Toyota Matrix. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your specific vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
It measures 17.01 inches, matching the OE design for a proper fit, form and function on the listed applications.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs. Doing both sides together gives balanced, even opening and holding of the liftgate.
What does the dynamic damping do?
The Lift-O-Mat velocity-manifold groove controls gas flow around the piston for a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking, and a gentle, controlled stop at the end of the stroke.
What are signs this lift support needs replacing?
A gas lift support that no longer holds the liftgate open, raises it slowly, or lets it drift down may have lost its charge. If it's the cause, this replaces it.
