Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 4051 gas strut features a robust steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. Both ends are equipped with 10mm nylon ball sockets, ensuring secure and precise mounting specific to the BMW Z3. The gas strut operates without an internal rebound spring, relying on its 149 Newton maximum force to provide consistent lift and support. The combination of rubber and Teflon materials reduces friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life.

Applications and Problem Solving

This gas strut is designed for specific fitment on BMW Z3 models, making it suitable for applications such as trunk lids, hoods, or other lift supports requiring precise dimensions and force ratings. It addresses common issues including:

• Difficulty in lifting or holding open the trunk or hood
• Worn or leaking original gas struts causing sagging or sudden closure
• Corrosion or damage to existing struts affecting performance
• Noise or binding during operation due to degraded components

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 4051 gas strut should be performed with care to avoid damage to the ball sockets or mounting points. Ensure the vehicle is securely supported before removing old struts. The 10mm nylon ball sockets require proper alignment for secure attachment. Lubrication of pivot points is not necessary due to the Teflon components. Verify the compressed and extended lengths match the original strut specifications for proper fitment on the BMW Z3.
