Detailed Description of StrongArm 4152 Hood Lift Support

This hood lift support is a specific fit for Pontiac Grand Prix models, designed to replace worn or failing hood struts. The steel outer cylinder with a black finish offers durability and resistance to environmental factors. The 7.5-inch stroke length allows for smooth and controlled hood lifting and lowering.
