Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:5B-9494KC
$28.99

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.

  • Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
  • Lift-O-Mat design: uses a longitudinal groove (velocity manifold) pressed into the tube wall, letting gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this application; the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
  • Corrosion-tested coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
  • Easy installation: installs with no special tools required.

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.

What is Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping?

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.
