Detailed Product Overview
This StrongArm lift support is built around the listed dimensions, shaft size, and end configurations to match the original application requirements for Dodge Daytona and Chrysler Laser models. The 19.0 mm cylinder outside diameter, 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter, and 89.0 maximum force help deliver consistent lift assistance for hood, hatch, or rear window glass service points where the original support has weakened or failed. StrongArm part number 4712 is a direct-fit replacement for the specified vehicles, and this part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Hood, hatch, or rear glass that drops after being opened
- Weak or inconsistent lift support pressure
- Slow, uneven, or difficult opening action
- Support rods that no longer hold the panel in place
- Noise or binding caused by worn lift support hardware
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and blade-end configuration before installation. Match the support to the vehicle application listed for your Dodge Daytona or Chrysler Laser, and inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before replacing the unit. For safe, reliable operation, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the same hood, hatch, or liftgate system.
