Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:4B-816941
Hold your Kia Sorento's liftgate open smoothly with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-997598, a gas-charged lift support measuring 19.68 inches. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2015 Kia Sorento (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details). This is Stabilus's Lift-O-Mat design, using dynamic damping speed control to deliver a fluid, controlled opening motion without bouncing or jerking during cycling.
Signs this lift support may need replacing include a liftgate that drifts down, opens slowly, or won't stay up on its own. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold and move evenly.

What vehicle does this lift support fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2014-2015 Kia Sorento. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm it matches your vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
It measures 19.68 inches, matching the OE-based design for the listed Kia Sorento applications.
What is dynamic damping speed control?
A groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, controlling extension speed for a fluid opening with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle stop.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs so both sides open and hold the liftgate evenly.
How can I tell if my lift support has failed?
Common signs include a liftgate that drifts down, opens slowly, or no longer stays up on its own. If a worn lift support is the cause, this replaces it.
