Detailed Description

Built for the rear body application on the Chrysler PT Cruiser, StrongArm 4564 is engineered as a direct-fit tailgate lift support for 2001-2008 models. The pressurized cylinder helps maintain liftgate position while providing smoother opening and closing action. With a 22.84-inch extended length, 16.75-inch compressed length, and 6.09-inch stroke, this support is sized for the listed application and uses captive ball, nylon socket end fittings for secure attachment. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Weak or slow liftgate support action
• Uneven or inconsistent rear hatch movement
• Difficulty holding the tailgate in the raised position
• Worn gas strut performance on a 2001-2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser
