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.

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
