Detailed Product Description

The StrongArm Hood Lift Support 4383 is a vehicle-specific component designed to replace the original hood lift supports on Hyundai Sonata models. Constructed with a steel outer cylinder and black finish, it offers durability and resistance to environmental factors. The 19.0 mm cylinder diameter and 7.25-inch stroke length provide consistent force and smooth hood movement. Both ends feature 10mm nylon ball sockets, ensuring a secure and vibration-resistant connection to the hood and frame.
