Detailed Description of the StrongArm 4466 Hood Lift Support

This hood lift support is a specific fit part designed exclusively for the Lincoln Town Car. The steel outer cylinder with a black finish offers durability and resistance to environmental factors. The 22 mm cylinder diameter combined with an 8 mm inner shaft diameter provides the necessary strength to hold the hood securely in place. The nylon ball socket ends (10 mm and 8 mm) allow for easy installation and reliable pivoting action. With a stroke length of 3.25 inches, the lift support offers smooth hood opening and closing without sudden drops or resistance. The absence of an internal rebound spring reduces complexity and potential failure points, while rubber and Teflon materials ensure quiet and consistent performance.
