Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 4067 hood lift support features a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. The lift support uses nylon ball socket ends sized 8mm and 10mm to ensure a secure and precise fit on the hood and frame mounting points.
