Stabilus 9Y0 823 359 A Hood Lift Support Gas Shock Lift-O-Mat

The Stabilus 9Y0 823 359 A is an OEM-quality hood lift support designed to hold the engine hood securely in the open position. Manufactured by Stabilus — the original equipment supplier to Volkswagen Group — this gas-pressurized strut is built to the same specifications as the part it replaces, ensuring a direct, no-modification-required fit.

Stabilus is globally recognized as a leading manufacturer of gas springs and dampers under their well-known Lift-O-Mat product line. These hood shocks use pressurized nitrogen gas to provide smooth, consistent lifting force, replacing worn or failed struts that cause the hood to fall or fail to stay open.

Key Features:

• OEM Stabilus Lift-O-Mat gas spring construction
• Nitrogen gas-pressurized for consistent, reliable hood support
• Direct OEM replacement — no modifications required
• Manufactured to original equipment specifications
• Corrosion-resistant construction for long service life
• Eliminates the need for a hood prop rod

Replacing a weak or failed hood lift support restores safe, hands-free hood operation. The Stabilus 9Y0 823 359 A is a straightforward plug-and-play replacement that snaps onto existing mounting points for a quick installation.
