Detailed Description

StrongArm 4115 is a hood lift support designed for BMW E46 chassis applications, including 1999-2000 BMW 323i and 328i, 2000 BMW 323Ci and 328Ci, and 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci and 330Ci. It also fits 2001-2005 BMW 325i, 325xi, 330i, and 330xi. The pressurized cylinder construction helps maintain controlled hood opening and stable support during service.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. StrongArm part number 4115 is a direct-fit replacement for select BMW hood support applications where the original lift support has weakened or lost pressure.

Common Problems This Part Helps Solve

  • Hood drops after being opened
  • Weak or inconsistent hood support
  • Hood that no longer stays raised during engine bay access
  • Slow or uneven hood lift action
  • Noise or resistance from a worn gas strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and 10 mm ball socket ends before installation. Confirm the vehicle application against the fitment list for your BMW 323Ci, 328i, 325i, or 330i model year. For proper hood support and balanced operation, replace the matching lift support on the opposite side when servicing the hood system.

Quality Assurance

Each StrongArm lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to deliver smoother operation and longer service life. This specific-fit hood lift support is built to match the listed BMW applications and support reliable hood positioning.
