Detailed Description

StrongArm Part Number 4651 is engineered for Porsche 928 hood applications across 1978-1991 Porsche 928 and 1993-1995 Porsche 928 models. It is a direct-fit hood lift support with the correct compressed length, extended length, and stroke for the specified vehicle fitment. The pressurized cylinder helps maintain steady hood positioning while opening and closing, and the steel body construction supports long-term service in automotive use. If you are replacing a worn hood strut on a Porsche 928, StrongArm 4651 provides the fitment-specific dimensions needed for proper hood operation. Part number 4651 is also referenced by AMS Automotive 4651 and cross-references URO 92851113903 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that will not stay open on a Porsche 928
• Slow or weak hood lift action
• Uneven hood support during service access
• Loss of pressure in an aging hood strut
• Excessive effort needed to raise the hood

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year and hood application before installation. Match the 10 mm ball socket ends to the existing mounting points and confirm the compressed and extended lengths align with the original support. For consistent hood operation, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the hood system on Porsche 928 models. After installation, cycle the hood carefully to confirm smooth movement and secure holding force.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm states that each lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. Part Number 4651 is built as a specific-fit replacement for the listed Porsche 928 applications.
