The inner shaft diameter measures 8.0 mm, ensuring compatibility with specific mounting points. The ball socket end (10mm nylon) and blade with bracket on the opposite end facilitate secure attachment to designated vehicle components. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance durability during operation.

Applications and Problem Solving

This gas strut is designed for specific fitment applications, commonly used in automotive lift supports such as hoods, trunks, or tailgates. It addresses issues including:

• Difficulty in lifting or holding open heavy panels
• Worn or leaking original gas springs causing sagging
• Unstable or jerky motion during panel operation
• Corrosion or damage to existing lift supports
• Need for precise fitment with specific mounting ends

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the StrongArm 4866R gas strut, ensure the ball socket end (10mm nylon) and blade with bracket are correctly aligned with the vehicle’s mounting points. Verify the compressed and extended lengths match the original equipment specifications. Lubricate mounting points if necessary to prevent noise and wear. Avoid compressing the strut beyond its specified limits to maintain performance and longevity.
