Detailed Product Information

StrongArm 4468 is built as a hood lift support for vehicles including 1993-1997 Chrysler Concorde, 1994-1997 Chrysler LHS, 1993-1997 Dodge Intrepid, and 1993-1996 Chrysler New Yorker. This part number is also referenced as StrongArm 4468 for the same application. It cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

The cylinder measures 19.0 mm in outside diameter and uses nylon ball socket ends on both sides for a secure connection. The steel outer cylinder and internal rebound spring-free design support smooth hood movement while maintaining a controlled opening and closing feel. StrongArm manufactures these lift supports to meet application-specific requirements for consistent performance.

What It Helps Address

  • Hood that will not stay open
  • Weak or slow hood lift action
  • Dropping hood during service checks
  • Uneven hood support on worn gas struts
  • Noise or binding from aging lift support hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application before installation and match the ball socket end style and length specifications to the original part. Hood lift supports should be replaced in pairs to maintain balanced support and consistent operation across the hood opening range. Confirm the hood opens and closes smoothly after installation.

StrongArm custom engineers its lift supports for application-specific fitment and builds them beyond standard industry requirements for smoother operation and longer service life.
