Hold your trunk lid open smoothly and keep it from drifting shut with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 4B-0872NC, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2000 Volvo S70; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level application details.
This is a Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus, using a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — that lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application. The groove profile narrows gradually toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
Signs this lift support may need replacing include a lid that no longer stays up, drops on its own, or feels weak and slow while opening. For balanced support, Stabilus recommends replacing the pair together.
What vehicle does this lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2000 Volvo S70. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the application for your specific vehicle.
What is dynamic damping speed control?
A groove called a velocity manifold is pressed into the tube wall, letting gas flow around the piston to control extension speed. It creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs. Installing both together gives balanced support and consistent opening motion.
How long is this lift support?
This Stabilus lift support measures 19.49 inches. It is a gas-charged unit based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function.
How do I know when my lift support has failed?
Signs include a trunk lid that no longer stays open, drops on its own, or feels weak and slow. If a worn lift support is the cause, this unit replaces it.
