The steel cylinder construction and internal materials are selected for smoother operation and longer service life than basic generic replacements.

Common Problems This Part Can Solve

• Hood, hatch, or rear glass that will not stay open
• Slow or uneven lift support movement
• Loss of holding force in cold weather or with age
• Drooping panels that make access to the engine bay or cargo area difficult
• Worn ball socket connections causing loose or inconsistent support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and 10 mm ball socket end style before installation. Match the vehicle application exactly, since this is a specific-fit part and not a universal strut. For safe, reliable support, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the hood, hatch, or liftgate system.
