Detailed Description

StrongArm 4402 is engineered as a direct replacement lift support with the correct compressed length, extended length, stroke, and end fittings for specific vehicle applications. The pressurized cylinder helps support the hood, hatch, or liftgate in an open position while providing more controlled movement than a worn or weakened support. This part number 4402 is also referenced in aftermarket interchange listings for the same application, including Monroe Shocks & Struts 819-5204 and D4402.

For buyers searching for a lift support for Honda Civic hatch or rear glass service, StrongArm 4402 provides the dimensional and mounting details needed to match the original setup. The black steel cylinder, nylon socket end, and eyelet connection are specified to align with the vehicle’s mounting points and operating geometry.

What It Helps Fix

• Hood, hatch, or liftgate that will not stay open
• Slow, weak, or uneven opening action
• Drooping rear glass or rear hatch support
• Excessive effort needed to raise the hood or hatch
• Noise or binding caused by a worn gas strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced support and consistent opening force. Before ordering, verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and end fittings against the original support on the vehicle. Confirm the mounting style and force rating match the application, especially on Honda Civic fitments and other specific-fit vehicles.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm states that each lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. Part number 4402 is built to the listed specifications for direct-fit replacement use.
