Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the end fittings and dimensions before installation: 19.1-inch extended length, 14.81-inch compressed length, and 4.29-inch stroke. Confirm the 10mm nylon ball socket and 8mm nylon ball socket connection points match the vehicle mounting hardware on the Oldsmobile Aurora. For proper trunk support and balanced operation, replace the lift support on the opposite side at the same time when the vehicle uses a paired setup.
