The combination of rubber and Teflon materials in the internal components reduces friction and wear, contributing to a longer service life.

The blade with bracket on one end and the 10mm nylon ball socket on the other provide secure mounting points compatible with the vehicle's original hardware.
Applications and Problem Solving
This gas strut is designed to support and control the motion of hoods, trunks, or hatchbacks on Toyota Celica vehicles. It addresses common issues such as:
- Difficulty in lifting or holding open vehicle panels
- Unstable or jerky movement of hoods or trunks
- Wear or failure of original gas struts causing sagging
- Corrosion or damage to existing strut components
- Loss of gas pressure reducing support force
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the StrongArm 4955R gas strut, ensure the mounting points correspond to the blade with bracket and ball socket ends. Verify the orientation matches the original strut to maintain proper stroke and force direction. Use appropriate tools to avoid damage to the nylon ball socket and rubber seals. It is recommended to replace gas struts in pairs to maintain balanced support on both sides of the vehicle panel.
