• Weak or inconsistent lift assistance
• Hard-to-open rear lid due to worn gas pressure
• Excessive effort needed to raise the trunk lid
• Reduced support from aging OEM-style lift struts

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle application against the fitment list for your BMW 325i, 318i, 325is, 325iX, M3, or 325e. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so the trunk lid opens and closes with balanced support. Check mounting points for wear or damage before installing StrongArm 4347.
