Detailed Description
StrongArm 4703 is a pressurized lift support made for vehicles that use gas-charged struts to hold a hood, hatch, or rear glass in the open position. This part number 4703 is listed for 1976-1985 Toyota Celica without rear wiper, 1979-1983 Toyota Corolla without rear wiper, and 1980-1983 Nissan 200SX. The design uses 10mm nylon ball socket ends and a steel cylinder body to deliver controlled motion and stable support during opening and closing.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 510-570 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn lift support on a Toyota Celica, Toyota Corolla, or Nissan 200SX, StrongArm 4703 provides the correct fitment profile for the listed vehicles and notes. The part number 4703 is also useful when searching for a direct replacement by OE-style reference.
What It Helps Fix
- Hood, hatch, or rear glass that will not stay open
- Slow or uneven lift action
- Drooping or falling panels during service access
- Loss of support from a worn gas strut
- Hard closing caused by weak or inconsistent lift force
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and rear wiper note before ordering. Compatible With 1976-1985 Toyota Celica, 1979-1983 Toyota Corolla, and 1980-1983 Nissan 200SX in the listed applications. Inspect both mounting points and confirm the 10mm ball socket style matches the existing hardware on the vehicle. For balanced operation and even wear, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the hood, hatch, or liftgate system.
