Keep your KIA Rio's rear hatch rising smoothly and staying propped open with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-940716. This gas-charged lift support uses dynamic damping speed control for a fluid opening motion and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2017 KIA RIO. It measures 19.37 inches.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: engineered to create a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
  • Corrosion resistance: part coatings are tested to automotive standards.
  • Easy to install: requires no special tools.
  • Based on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form, and function.

Stabilus builds this unit on its Lift-O-Mat platform, which presses a longitudinal groove known as a velocity manifold into the tube wall so gas can flow around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application. The groove profile gradually narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop. If a worn or leaking strut is letting your liftgate drift down or slam, this replaces it. For best results, replace both supports in pairs for balanced, even operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does this lift support fit?

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2017 KIA RIO. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your specific vehicle before ordering.

What is dynamic damping speed control?

A longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) in the tube wall controls how gas flows around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle, controlled stop near the end of the stroke.

Should I replace both lift supports at once?

For best results, replace them in pairs. Installing a matched pair helps keep the liftgate opening and holding evenly on both sides.

How can I tell this lift support may need replacing?

Common signs include a liftgate that drifts down, won't stay open, or feels weak or slow to rise. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other hardware can be involved.

Are special tools needed to install it?

No. This lift support is designed for easy installation and requires no special tools. Follow the vehicle service procedure for the correct steps.
