What does this lift support do?
It's a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support that extends and holds up the liftgate or panel it's mounted to, providing smooth, controlled motion during opening and closing.
Which vehicles does the 5B-8722BX fit?
It fits the 1965-1989, 1991 and 1994 Porsche 911; the 1965-1969 and 1976 Porsche 912; the 1978-1979 Porsche 930; and the 1989 Porsche 944. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing in pairs for best results. The supports work together, so installing both helps keep opening and closing balanced and even.
How do I know when a lift support is worn?
Common signs include a hatch that drifts down, won't stay open, feels weak, or opens slowly. If a failed lift support is the cause, this replaces it.
Is installation difficult?
No. Stabilus states this lift support is easy to install and requires no special tools. Consult your vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
