Detailed Description
StrongArm 4620 is a pressurized gas lift support built for automotive hood, hatch, and liftgate-style support applications. It uses a black steel cylinder, 10 mm nylon ball socket ends, and a 117.0 maximum force rating to provide steady opening and holding action. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. It fits 1990-1992 Geo Storm and fits 1990-1992 Isuzu Impulse, without Ball Type End Fittings. For buyers searching for a StrongArm 4620 lift support for Geo Storm or Isuzu Impulse hood and hatch support, this part matches the listed vehicle coverage and dimensions.
What It Helps Fix
- Weak hood or hatch support that no longer stays open
- Slow, uneven, or heavy lift action
- Drooping rear glass or liftgate support
- Loss of controlled opening and closing motion
- Wear-related gas pressure loss in the original support
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and 10 mm ball socket end style before installation. Confirm the vehicle application and note that the Isuzu Impulse listing specifies without Ball Type End Fittings. Replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the same opening so the hood, hatch, or liftgate operates evenly and safely. Match the existing mounting points and check that the support is oriented correctly before final testing.

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. The brand positions this part as a precise replacement for the listed Geo Storm and Isuzu Impulse applications.
