Durable Construction and Precise Fitment

This StrongArm gas strut (part number 6139) is built with a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and longevity. The specific fitment for Ford Explorer models ensures proper alignment and function. The nylon ball socket ends, sized at 10mm and with a 16-degree angle, provide secure attachment points while allowing smooth pivoting action. The absence of an internal rebound spring means the strut operates with consistent damping characteristics suited for the Explorer's application.

Applications and Problem Solving

This gas strut is designed to support and assist in lifting or holding open components such as hoods, tailgates, or liftgates on Ford Explorer vehicles. It addresses common issues including:

• Difficulty lifting or holding open heavy panels
• Worn or leaking original gas struts causing sagging
• Unstable or jerky motion during opening or closing
• Corrosion or damage to existing strut cylinders
• Improper fitment leading to noise or binding

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the StrongArm 6139 gas strut on your Ford Explorer, ensure the ball socket ends are securely snapped onto the mounting studs. Verify the orientation of the 16-degree ball socket end to match the vehicle's mounting angle. It is recommended to replace gas struts in pairs to maintain balanced support. Avoid forcing the strut beyond its stroke length to prevent damage.
