Hold your trunk lid open smoothly and keep it from dropping with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 5B-187887, an 11.73-inch gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2016 Mitsubishi Lancer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
This Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus uses a longitudinal groove, called a velocity manifold, pressed into the tube wall so gas flows around the piston with extension speed and damping tuned for this application. The groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop with minimal impact.
Signs your original lift support may need replacing include a trunk lid that drifts down, won't stay up, or opens slowly or unevenly.

What vehicle does the Stabilus 5B-187887 lift support fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2016 Mitsubishi Lancer. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm engine-level fitment for your vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
This Stabilus lift support measures 11.73 inches, matching the OE design for proper fit, form, and function on the listed application.
What is dynamic damping speed control?
A longitudinal groove, or velocity manifold, in the tube wall controls how gas flows around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle stop.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold with matched, balanced motion.
How can I tell if my lift support is failing?
Signs include a trunk lid that drifts down, won't stay open, or opens slowly or unevenly. If a worn lift support is the cause, this unit replaces it.
