Product Details
StrongArm 6116 is engineered for the 2004-2009 Cadillac SRX and uses a specific-fit design rather than a universal layout. The cylinder measures 22.0 mm outside diameter with a 10.0 mm inner shaft diameter, and the 6.8-inch stroke supports controlled opening and closing action. The steel outer cylinder and nylon ball socket ends are selected for stable mounting and repeatable motion. This part number, 6116, is also listed under several interchange references, making it easier to verify the correct replacement for the Cadillac SRX.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Hood, hatch, or rear glass that drops instead of staying open
- Weak or inconsistent lift support pressure
- Slow or uneven opening action
- Excessive effort needed to raise the supported panel
- Noise or binding from a worn gas strut
Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle application before installation and confirm the end fittings match the existing mounting points. For proper balance and safe operation, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the same opening. After installation, cycle the hood, hatch, or liftgate several times to confirm smooth movement and secure engagement.
