StrongArm 4979 Lift Support for Acura Integra

StrongArm 4979 is a specific-fit lift support for the hood, hatch, or rear glass application on 1994-2001 Acura Integra models. It uses a pressurized cylinder design to deliver controlled opening and holding force for consistent operation.

Key Features

  • Specific-fit lift support for 1994-2001 Acura Integra
  • Extended length: 31.89 in; compressed length: 19.69 in
  • Stroke length: 12.2 in for smooth travel
  • Maximum force rating: 58.0
  • Black steel outer cylinder with rubber and Teflon materials
  • End 1: blade (.402 dia. hole); End 2: 10 mm nylon ball socket

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. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. 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

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1994-2001 Acura Integra, N/A. Verify the compressed length, extended length, and end fittings before installation to confirm the correct replacement for your vehicle. Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced support and consistent operation across the hood, hatch, or liftgate system.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to support smoother operation and longer service life in automotive applications.
