The 7.0-inch stroke length allows for smooth extension and compression, while the nylon ball socket ends at 16 degrees and 10 mm ensure secure attachment points. The inclusion of rubber and Teflon materials enhances durability and reduces friction during operation. This gas strut does not include an internal rebound spring, focusing on consistent damping performance.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the StrongArm 4360 gas strut on your Mini Cooper, ensure the ball socket ends are securely attached to the mounting points.
