What This Part Helps Correct

  • Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds position
  • Hood, hatch, or panel movement that drops too quickly
  • Reduced opening assistance from a worn gas strut
  • Inconsistent support force during repeated use
  • Noise or binding caused by an aging support unit

Installation Notes

Verify compressed length, extended length, and end connection style before installation. Match the plastic socket ends and confirm the 6 mm rod diameter and 15 mm tube diameter against the original part. Compare the force rating to the original support to maintain proper opening and holding behavior.
