BraunAbility 26963 Stow Latch Dampener | Gas Spring Shock | Prevents Slamming During Stow | Fits Braun L915 & NCL Series | Replaces OEM Dampener

BraunAbility 26963 Stow Latch Dampener Is your wheelchair lift slamming when it tries to stow? The 26963 is a small gas shock that cushions the final movement of the stow latch. When it wears out, the metal-on-metal impact is loud and damaging. Symptoms of Failure:Loud "BANG" when the lift finishes stowing.Stow latch looks battered or cracked.Lift vibrates excessively during transport.Vehicle Fitment:Fits the stowage latch assembly on Braun L915 and NCL (Century) Series lifts commonly found in Transit Vans and Cutaway Buses.

• STOPS THE "SLAM": If your lift makes a loud BANG when it latches into the stowed position, this gas dampener has failed. Replacing it restores the smooth, quiet locking action.
• CRITICAL FOR LATCH LIFE: A failed dampener allows the stow latch to hammer against the catch, eventually breaking the latch mechanism (a much more expensive repair).
• COMPACT SIZE: Measures approx. 5.67" Extended / 4.29" Compressed. This is a specialized "Shorty" shock—do not attempt to use a standard gas spring.
• OEM BRAUNABILITY PART: Genuine replacement for the stow-latch mechanism on Braun L915 and NCL Series lifts.
• EASY SNAP-ON INSTALL: Installs in minutes using standard ball-socket connections. A quick and cheap fix for a noisy, banging lift.
