Detailed Description

StrongArm 4454 is a trunk lid lift support built for Porsche 911 applications from 1968 through 1988, including models with lid. This part number 4454 uses a specific-fit design, so the dimensions and end styles match the intended application rather than a universal setup. The pressurized cylinder helps maintain stable trunk lid support while opening and closing, and the steel outer cylinder adds durability for daily use. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

For buyers searching for a Porsche 911 trunk lid lift support, rear compartment gas strut, or StrongArm 4454 replacement, this unit provides the measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke needed for proper fitment. The blade-style ends and 95.0 force rating are important details when matching the correct support to the vehicle.

What It Helps Solve

• Weak or failing trunk lid support on Porsche 911 models
• Trunk lid that drops instead of staying open
• Uneven or inconsistent lift action at the rear compartment lid
• Noise or binding caused by worn lift support hardware
• Difficulty opening or holding the trunk lid in place

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and end fittings before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 1968-1988 Porsche 911 with lid and compare the existing support to StrongArm 4454 for match-up. Replace the lift support in pairs when the application uses two supports to maintain balanced operation and safe lid control.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. Part number 4454 is built for consistent performance in the specified Porsche 911 application.
