Open and hold the liftgate with smooth, controlled motion using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 5B-9494KC (also written 5B9494KC), a gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2003 Mercedes-Benz E320 and the 2005-2007 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG, measuring 12.79 inches, and is based on the OE design to help preserve proper fit, form, and function.
A worn gas support that no longer holds the liftgate up, drifts closed, or opens with a jerky, uncontrolled motion is a sign this part may need replacing. For best results, replace supports in pairs so both sides cycle evenly.

How long is this lift support?
The manufacturer lists this gas-charged lift support at 12.79 inches.
What is Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping?
It uses a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with tuned extension speed and damping, giving a fluid opening motion and a gentle, controlled stop.
Should I replace both supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing supports in pairs so both sides open and hold the liftgate evenly.
How do I know when a lift support needs replacing?
Signs include a liftgate that no longer stays up, drifts closed, or opens with jerky, uncontrolled motion. Confirm the support is the cause before replacing.
