Durable Construction and Technical Specifications

The StrongArm 4597 gas strut features a robust steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and longevity. The 19 mm diameter cylinder and 8 mm inner shaft diameter provide the necessary strength to support the hatch or hood of the Scion tC. Both ends are equipped with 10 mm nylon ball socket fittings, allowing for secure attachment and smooth pivoting action. The absence of an internal rebound spring simplifies the design, focusing on reliable gas pressure support. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and wear, enhancing the strut's operational life.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 4597 gas strut requires removal of the old strut by detaching the 10 mm nylon ball socket ends.

Use appropriate tools to avoid damage to the ball sockets during installation. Verify smooth operation of the hatch or hood after installation.
