The lift support operates without an internal rebound spring, relying on its gas pressure and precision-engineered components to provide consistent force. The ball socket ends, with a nylon socket on one end and a steel socket on the other, ensure secure attachment points that reduce wear and noise. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to enhance sealing and reduce friction during operation.

• Difficulty in opening or holding the trunk lid open
• Trunk lid closing unexpectedly or slamming shut

• Visible wear or damage to existing lift supports
• Loss of lift force causing trunk lid to feel heavy or unstable

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 4111 lift support requires removal of the old lift support by detaching the ball socket ends. The nylon and steel ball sockets facilitate straightforward snap-on installation without the need for special tools. Ensure the lift support is oriented correctly with the compressed and extended lengths matching the vehicle specifications. It is recommended to replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced trunk lid operation.
