Detailed Description
StrongArm 6123 is built for the Chevrolet HHR lift support application and uses a pressurized gas-cylinder design to provide controlled opening and holding force. The specific-fit construction helps match the original mounting points and operating geometry, while the steel outer cylinder and low-friction internal materials support smooth movement over repeated use. If you are replacing a worn hood or hatch support on a 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, StrongArm 6123 offers a direct-fit service part for that vehicle platform. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Hood, hatch, or rear glass that no longer stays open
- Slow or uneven lift action when opening the panel
- Drooping support that makes access to the cargo area or engine bay difficult
- Loss of holding force from a worn gas strut
- Noise or rough movement from an aging lift support
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR. Verify the end fittings and compressed/extended lengths before installation to confirm the replacement matches the original support. Replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the same opening so the panel opens and closes with balanced force and consistent alignment. Confirm the ball socket sizes and mounting orientation before removal of the original unit.
Quality Assurance
StrongArm states that each lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. Part number 6123 is built to specific-fit requirements for the Chevrolet HHR application.
