Built for Rear Lid Support

StrongArm 4669 is a pressurized lift support used to hold the trunk lid in the open position and control opening and closing movement. The cylinder measures 15.0 mm outside diameter with a 6.0 mm inner shaft diameter, and the specific-fit design helps maintain proper alignment on the Volvo 850. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Trunk lid that drops too quickly when opened
• Weak rear lid support that no longer holds position
• Uneven or inconsistent lift effort on the Volvo 850
• Reduced control when opening or closing the trunk lid
• Noise or binding from a worn lift support

Installation Notes

Verify the end fittings and compressed/extended lengths before installation on your 1993-1997 Volvo 850. Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced support and consistent operation. Confirm the mounting points are clean and undamaged so the new support can seat correctly and move through its full stroke without interference.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed typical industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. Part number 4669 is built as a direct-fit replacement for the listed Volvo 850 applications.
