OUR SOLUTION.   \nUNIVERSAL SPECIFICATION GUIDE  \nA B  \n LENGTH EXTENDED   \nFollow these easy steps to select the best universal replacement for your application:  \n• Measure your existing gas spring from A to B when full extended  \n• Measure the gas spring from the same points when full compressed  \n• Choose the style of connection type (eyelet or ball socket)  \n• Select the Stabilus part number from this chart that most closely matches your measurements  \nImportant notes:  \n• Measure from the center of the attachment points  \n• Not all gas springs can be compressed by hand – you may need to take the compressed measurement while the gas spring is still installed in the application  \n• Always replace gas springs in pairs if there are two used in the application  \n• Install the new gas spring in the same orientation (rod and reservoir ends installed as they were originally)  \n• Useful conversions:  \no Newton to Pounds-Newton/4 .448 = Force in Pounds  \no Pounds to Newton-Pounds * 4.448 = Force in Newtons  \no Millimeters to Inches-Millimeters/25.4 = Length in inches  \no Inches to Millimeters- Inches * 25.4 = Length in Millimeters  \nBrand Number  \nExtended
