StrongArm 4716 Lift Support for Ford Fiesta

StrongArm 4716 is a specific-fit lift support for the hood, hatch, or rear glass on 1978-1980 Ford Fiesta applications. It uses a pressurized cylinder design to restore controlled opening and holding force for worn or weak support struts.

  • Specific-fit lift support for 1978-1980 Ford Fiesta
  • Extended length: 24.11 in; compressed length: 14.64 in
  • Stroke length: 9.47 in for measured travel
  • Maximum force rating: 68.0
  • Steel outer cylinder with black finish
  • Nylon eyelet ends at both connections
  • Rubber and Teflon materials for smoother operation

Product Details

Built as a direct replacement gas strut, StrongArm 4716 is engineered for consistent support and smoother movement than a worn original unit. The 19.0 mm cylinder outside diameter and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter reflect a compact OE-style design for the Ford Fiesta platform. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Fits 1978-1980 Ford Fiesta, N/A. Fits 1978-1980 Ford Fiesta, N/A. Fits 1978-1980 Ford Fiesta, N/A.

Common Replacement Symptoms

  • Hood, hatch, or rear glass drops instead of staying open
  • Lift support no longer holds position at full extension
  • Slow, uneven, or stiff opening and closing action
  • Visible wear, leakage, or loss of pressure in the strut
  • Reduced support on a Ford Fiesta hood or hatch opening

Installation Notes

Verify compressed length, extended length, stroke, and end type before installation. This StrongArm 4716 uses eyelet (nylon) ends at both connections, so the mounting points must match the vehicle’s original hardware and geometry. For balanced operation and consistent support, replace lift supports in pairs on the same hood, hatch, or liftgate application.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. The 4716 is built for specific-fit use on the listed Ford Fiesta applications and is designed to deliver stable, repeatable support under normal vehicle use.
