Detailed Product Description

The StrongArm 4902 gas strut is constructed with a robust steel cylinder finished in black to resist corrosion and wear. It features a 22 mm outside diameter and a 10 mm inner shaft diameter, providing a balance of strength and smooth operation. The gas spring extends from a compressed length of 20.25 inches to a full extended length of 36.5 inches, offering a stroke length of 16.25 inches. Both ends are equipped with 10 mm nylon ball socket fittings, ensuring secure attachment points that reduce noise and wear during movement. The internal design excludes a rebound spring, focusing on consistent damping force up to 64 lbs. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to enhance sealing and reduce friction, contributing to the strut's longevity and performance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Supports vehicle hood or trunk lids requiring specific length and force
• Replaces worn or damaged gas springs in compatible makes and models
• Improves smooth opening and closing of automotive panels
• Addresses issues with sagging or unstable lift supports
• Provides reliable force for controlled motion in automotive assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the StrongArm 4902 gas strut matches the original part number and specifications before installation. The 10 mm nylon ball socket ends require compatible mounting points on the vehicle. Lubricate ball sockets lightly if necessary to reduce noise. Avoid overextending the strut beyond its specified stroke length to prevent damage. Confirm the orientation of the strut during installation to maintain proper function and force direction.
