Each support is tested to perform as well as the original units and in many cases, to exceed the manufacturer's specification.

Please ensure you replace all the supports in the compartment at the same time to ensure proper performance.

Lift supports lose pressure over time, even sitting on shelves in most auto parts stores and many of the inventory liquidators on eBay. Our business is lift supports, and we sell newly produced units, keeping our inventory fresh and rotated. Quite a few vendors on eBay are advertising Stabilus part numbers but with different vendor names. Please take a moment and be sure that what they are offering are genuine Stabilus parts.

We stock several thousand different supports supplied by various quality manufacturers that are not listed here. We can build many units to your specifications if we don't have it. Don't hesitate to contact us with your requirements so we can research and find the best support suited to your needs. Special lengths, different pressures or ends - send us the information. Have an existing support with part numbers on it? Send us all the part numbers that you can find.

"Shaft down" is the preferred orientation for mounting a Lift Support. An optimum design would permit the support to be oriented shaft down through its entire actuation. If this is not possible, then try to install it so that the shaft is pointing downward in the Closed Position.

There are several reasons for this:

1. To achieve the damping or "cushion" at the end of the Lift Supports stroke, the piston assembly inside the Lift Support must travel through oil at the end of the stroke. "Shaft down" orientation ensures that the oil is in the proper location for damping to occur.
2. "Shaft down" orientation ensures that the shaft and sealing components are lubricated with every stroke of the Lift Support. This reduces seal wear and helps to inhibit corrosion.
3. Depending on the application, "shaft down" orientation may reduce the rate of gas permeation through the seal, which increases the usable life of the Lift Support.

Some reasons not to change the support orientation:

1. Vehicles with power openers must be installed in the same direction as they came from the factory. Sensors on the door are adjusted to work in the way they were programmed. Installing in the opposite direction can cause them not to work properly.
2. Some models of vehicles do not allow space for the cylinder to be reversed, and this will cause a binding when the door or window closes. An example of this is the Ford Excursion Rear Window (or liftgate)

Please remember that the more often a cylinder is used, the longer it will last. Sitting dormant for any period allows the shaft to bind to the seal and eventually tear. If the application remains dormant, open the lift supports very slowly the first time they are used.
