Detailed Description

StrongArm 4963L is built for the left-side tailgate application on the 1987-1991 Toyota Camry. The unit’s specific-fit design, 22.45-inch extended length, 14.6-inch compressed length, and 7.85-inch stroke help match the factory geometry of the rear lift support system. This part number, 4963L, is also referenced under AMS Automotive 4963L and cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 819-5730, 6896039076) for the same application.

As a pressurized cylinder, this StrongArm lift support is engineered for smoother operation and longer service life than worn original hardware. The steel outer cylinder, rubber components, and Teflon materials support consistent movement, while the blade-style bracket ends help align with the vehicle’s mounting points. For buyers searching for a Toyota Camry tailgate lift support, StrongArm 4963L provides a direct replacement path for the left side.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Tailgate or rear hatch that drops too quickly
  • Weak lift support that no longer holds the panel open
  • Uneven or inconsistent opening effort on the left side
  • Noise or rough movement from a worn gas strut
  • Loss of support caused by age, pressure loss, or seal wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and left-side mounting style before installation. Compare the compressed length, extended length, stroke, and end fittings to the original support to confirm match-up on your 1987-1991 Toyota Camry. Lift supports should be replaced in pairs to maintain balanced operation and reliable rear panel support.
