Detailed Description

StrongArm 4117 is engineered for trunk lid and rear compartment support on vehicles including 1996-2001 Audi A4, 1996-2001 Audi A4 Quattro, 2000-2002 Audi S4, 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat, and 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta. This part number 4117 is built as a specific replacement, with dimensions and end fittings matched to the listed applications for proper mounting and operation. If you are replacing a worn trunk support on an Audi A4 or Volkswagen Jetta, StrongArm 4117 provides the correct fitment profile for those vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Trunk lid that drops instead of staying open

Installation Notes and Tips

After installation, cycle the trunk lid several times to confirm smooth movement and secure engagement at both ends.
