Detailed Description

StrongArm 4827 is engineered as a direct replacement lift support for select 1989-1994 Geo Metro, 1990-1991 Pontiac Firefly, 1994 Pontiac Firefly, and 1989-1994 Suzuki Swift left-side applications. This part number is built to match the specified mounting style and travel dimensions, helping restore smooth liftgate, hood, or rear glass operation where the original support has weakened. 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 instead of staying open
  • Slow or uneven lift support movement
  • Weak support pressure from a worn gas strut
  • Difficulty holding the panel in the open position
  • Noise or binding caused by a fatigued support assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the mounting style, side, and dimensions before installation. StrongArm 4827 is a left-side specific fit, so confirm the vehicle application against the existing support and mounting points. For consistent operation and balanced support, replace lift supports in pairs when the opposite side is also equipped with a matching unit.

Quality Assurance

The 4827 part number is built for the specified application and dimensions to support reliable fitment on select Geo Metro, Pontiac Firefly, and Suzuki Swift vehicles.
