Fitment Details

Fits 1982-1983 Lincoln Town Car, trunk lid lift support. Fitment note: models from February 1982 onward.

StrongArm 4479 is engineered for the trunk lid on 1982-1983 Lincoln Town Car applications, with dimensions and end fittings matched to the listed fitment. The pressurized design helps maintain consistent lift performance, while the internal rebound spring supports smoother movement during trunk opening and closing. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Trunk lid drops too quickly when opened
• Weak or inconsistent lift support pressure
• Trunk lid will not stay raised
• Rough or uneven trunk opening action
• Visible wear at the support ends or cylinder

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle build date before ordering, since fitment applies to Lincoln Town Car models from February 1982 onward. Compare the compressed length, extended length, stroke, and blade-with-retainer end style to the original support before installation. For proper trunk lid balance and reliable operation, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm manufactures this lift support beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer-lasting performance. The custom-engineered construction and specific-fit design help ensure the part matches the intended trunk lid application.
