Hold your trunk lid open smoothly and steadily with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support (P/N 5B-174749). This gas-charged lift support drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2008 Mazda 6, measures 11.30 inches, and uses Stabilus Lift-O-Mat dynamic damping to control how the lid rises and settles. A worn or leaking support that no longer holds the lid up, drifts closed, or opens with a jerk is a sign this part may need replacing.
- Dynamic Damping Speed Control: A velocity manifold groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application, for a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Gentle, Controlled Stop: The groove profile narrows gradually toward the end of the stroke to help deliver a soft, controlled stop with minimal impact.
- Corrosion-Tested Coatings: Part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- OE-Based Design: Built on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, and easy to install with no special tools.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides raise and hold the lid evenly.
