Product Details and Specifications

The StrongArm 6026 gas strut is constructed with a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. It features nylon ball socket ends measuring 10mm, providing secure attachment points compatible with the original equipment on Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, SLK280, SLK300, and SLK350 vehicles. The gas strut operates without an internal rebound spring, relying on its 127 Newton force rating to deliver consistent lift and support. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance longevity. The precise compressed and extended lengths ensure proper fitment and function within the vehicle’s hood or trunk mechanisms.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is safely supported before removing the old gas strut.

Verify the orientation and stroke length match the original part to maintain proper operation. Avoid forcing the strut beyond its stroke limits during installation to prevent damage.
