Help your liftgate rise smoothly and stay up with the Stabilus liftgate lift support, part number 4B-9043QO. This 18.07-inch, hydraulically dampened, gas-charged support is a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 Pontiac Aztek. It is based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function.
The support is built on Stabilus's Lift-O-Mat hydraulic damping technology. It uses an oil channeling system and the patented labyrinth piston, with oil viscosity and piston configuration tuned for each application. This damping is designed to deliver smooth, controlled motion. The Lift-O-Mat build uses high-grade materials and a proprietary seal-guide system.
A liftgate that drifts down, won't stay open, or feels heavier to raise than it should can be a sign of a worn lift support. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.
