Keep the trunk lid rising smoothly and holding steady with the Stabilus Trunk Lid Lift Support 5G-598490, a 15.28-inch hydraulic damper that controls the motion of the lid as it opens and closes. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2016 Audi A4, 2009-2016 Audi A4 Quattro, and 2010-2016 Audi S4 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment.
Part of the Stabilus STAB-O-SHOC line, this damper is engineered to OE standards for consistent, maintenance-free performance. When a worn strut lets the lid drift down or slam, this replaces it. For best results, replace in pairs so both sides support the lid evenly.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this lift support do?
It is a 15.28-inch hydraulic damper that controls the trunk lid's motion, holding the lid open and eliminating uncontrolled opening movement for smoother, safer operation.
Which vehicles does the 5G-598490 fit?

Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs so both sides support the trunk lid evenly. This listing is for one damper.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
A trunk lid that drifts down on its own, won't stay open, or drops and slams shut are common signs that a lift support may be worn and need replacing.
Is any special tooling required to install it?
