Detailed Description of StrongArm Hood Lift Support 4524

This hood lift support is a specific fit for Infiniti I30 and Nissan Maxima vehicles, ensuring compatibility and proper function. The steel outer cylinder provides strength and resistance to wear, while the black finish helps prevent corrosion. The lift support features a 10.83-inch compressed length and extends to 15.31 inches, allowing for smooth hood opening and closing. The 4.48-inch stroke length offers controlled movement, reducing the risk of sudden drops or slams. Both ends utilize ball socket nylon fittings—one at 16 degrees and the other 10mm—to securely attach to the hood and vehicle frame. Internal components made from rubber and Teflon contribute to long-lasting performance without the need for an internal rebound spring.
