StrongArm 4955L Lift Support for Toyota Celica
StrongArm 4955L is a specific-fit lift support for the left side of the 1994-1999 Toyota Celica with spoiler. It uses a pressurized cylinder design to restore controlled hood, hatch, or rear glass support where the original unit has weakened.
- Specific fit for the left side on 1994-1999 Toyota Celica with spoiler
- Extended length: 22.26 in; compressed length: 14.89 in
- Stroke length: 7.37 in for controlled opening and closing travel
- Maximum force rating: 75.0
- Steel outer cylinder with black finish
- Blade w/bracket end on one side and 10 mm nylon ball socket on the other
- Rubber and Teflon materials used for smoother operation and wear resistance
Application Details
This StrongArm lift support is engineered for the Toyota Celica left-side application listed above and cross-references AMS Automotive 4955L for the same application. It also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn Toyota Celica lift support, StrongArm 4955L provides the correct dimensions and end fittings for direct replacement on the confirmed fitment.
Common Problems It Can Address
- Hood, hatch, or rear glass that drops instead of staying open
- Slow or uneven lift action when opening the supported panel
- Loss of holding force from a worn gas strut
- Noise or binding caused by aging lift support components
- Difficulty keeping the left-side panel positioned during service or loading
Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle is a 1994-1999 Toyota Celica with spoiler and confirm left-side placement before ordering. Match the compressed length, extended length, stroke, and end types to the original support. Replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the opposite side so the panel opens and closes with balanced support.
Quality Assurance
StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. The 4955L is built as a specific-fit replacement for the confirmed Toyota Celica application.
