Detailed Description
Built for Acura Integra hood and hatch support applications, StrongArm 4979 is engineered to match the specified fitment and operating dimensions for 1994-2001 Acura Integra vehicles. The steel cylinder construction, 19.0 mm outer diameter, and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter support stable movement, while the 58.0 force rating helps maintain proper lift and hold characteristics.

StrongArm 4979 is a direct replacement choice for Acura Integra lift support service when the original unit no longer holds position or opens smoothly.
What It Helps Fix
- Hood or hatch that drops instead of staying open
- Slow, uneven, or weak lift action
- Loss of support pressure in the gas strut
- Binding or inconsistent movement during opening
- Wear-related replacement on Acura Integra lift support hardware
