StrongArm 4561 Lift Support for Acura MDX

StrongArm 4561 is a specific-fit lift support for the 2001-2006 Acura MDX. It is built as a pressurized gas cylinder for hood, hatch, or rear glass support where the original unit has lost holding force or movement has become inconsistent.

  • Specific-fit replacement for 2001-2006 Acura MDX
  • Extended length: 24.63 in; compressed length: 16.43 in
  • Stroke length: 8.2 in with 126.0 maximum force
  • Black steel outer cylinder for durable service
  • Ball socket ends: nylon 16-degree end and nylon 10mm end
  • Internal rebound spring: No

Product Details

This StrongArm lift support is engineered to match the application requirements of the Acura MDX hood, hatch, or rear glass system. Part number 4561 uses a steel outer cylinder, rubber and Teflon materials, and a pressurized design to provide controlled opening and holding action. If you are replacing a worn Acura MDX lift support, StrongArm 4561 offers the correct fitment for 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

  • Hood, hatch, or rear glass that drops instead of staying open
  • Slow or uneven lift support movement
  • Loss of gas pressure in the original support
  • Difficulty holding the panel in the raised position
  • Wear-related noise or inconsistent operation at the lift point

Installation Notes

Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced support and consistent operation. Confirm the ball socket end styles and mounting points before installation on the Acura MDX. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original part to verify proper application before final installation.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. Part number 4561 is built for specific-fit use on the 2001-2006 Acura MDX and is backed by StrongArm’s manufacturing standards for replacement lift support applications.
