Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support P/N:5B-176661
Raise and hold your trunk lid smoothly with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 5B-256930 (also written 5B256930), a gas-charged lift support that measures 11.81 inches. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2009 Ford Fusion, 2007-2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2007-2009 Mercury Milan — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
This is a Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus unit that uses dynamic damping speed control. A longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — lets gas flow around the piston, with extension speed and damping engineered for this specific application. The groove narrows toward the end of the stroke for a gentle, controlled stop.
Lift supports work in pairs, so for best results replace both sides together. Worn units may feel weak, drift down, or fail to hold the lid up.
What vehicles does the Stabilus 5B-256930 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2009 Ford Fusion, 2007-2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2007-2009 Mercury Milan. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
The Stabilus 5B-256930 measures 11.81 inches. It is a gas-charged lift support with dynamic damping speed control.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Lift supports work as a pair, so for best results Stabilus recommends replacing both sides together for balanced, consistent operation.
What is dynamic damping?
A longitudinal groove pressed into the tube wall lets gas flow around the piston, tuning extension speed and damping so the lid opens smoothly and stops gently at the end of the stroke.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
Signs may include a lid that drifts down on its own, feels weak, or no longer holds itself open. Confirm the lift support is the cause before replacing.
