Keep your trunk lid rising smoothly and holding open with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 5B-168535, a gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2000 Ford Focus (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details), measuring 11.04 inches. Built around the Lift-O-Mat design, it uses a longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application, and the groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
- Dynamic damping speed control: creates a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards.
- Based on the OE design: intended to provide proper fit, form, and function.
- Easy to install: requires no special tools; for best results replace in pairs.
If a worn or leaking original lift support is the cause of a trunk lid that drifts down or opens slowly, this unit replaces it.
