Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 4549L hood lift support is constructed with a robust steel outer cylinder finished in black to resist corrosion and wear. The inner shaft diameter measures 8.0 mm, providing a solid and stable extension and retraction mechanism. This specific fit part is designed exclusively for the Toyota Avalon, ensuring precise compatibility and reliable performance.
