Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support P/N:5B-176661
Hold the deck lid up and control its motion with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 5B-244502, a gas-charged strut that measures 11.34 inches and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2023 Dodge Challenger. This Lift-O-Mat unit uses a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — that lets gas flow around the piston, giving extension speed and damping tuned for this application.
Lift supports weaken over time — a lid that drops on its own or won't stay up is a common sign the strut may need replacing. For best results, replace in pairs. If the original lift support is the cause, this Stabilus unit replaces it.

Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, replace them in pairs so both sides open and hold with matched, consistent motion.
What does the dynamic damping do?
A velocity manifold groove in the tube wall controls gas flow around the piston, creating a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking and a gentle stop.
How can I tell this part may need replacing?
A lid that slowly drops, won't stay up, or feels weak or jerky when opening are common signs a gas lift support may need replacing.
