Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:5B-7226BT
Hold your hatch open smoothly and keep it from drifting down with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 5B-414666, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse (see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine coverage).
This is a Lift-O-Mat unit by Stabilus with hydraulic damping, using an oil-channeling system and the patented labyrinth piston design tuned with application-specific oil viscosities and piston configurations for controlled, refined motion. Built with high-grade materials and a proprietary seal-guide system for durable, reliable operation. If a worn or leaking lift support is letting your liftgate sag or slam, this replaces it — for best results, replace both supports in pairs.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does this lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
What does this liftgate lift support do?
It is a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged strut that supports the liftgate, holding it open and controlling its motion while opening and closing.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs. Both supports typically wear at a similar rate, so a matched pair keeps the liftgate opening and holding evenly.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
Common signs include a liftgate that sags, drifts down on its own, feels weak, or won't stay up. If a worn or leaking support is the cause, this unit replaces it.
Do I need special tools to install it?
No. It is based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function and requires no special tools. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
