Detailed Product Overview

StrongArm part number 6167 is a trunk lid lift support designed for direct replacement on the Chevrolet Malibu from 2008 through 2012.

The steel cylinder construction, nylon ball socket ends, and 84.0 maximum force rating are selected to match the application and provide stable rear lid support.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6167 for the same application. StrongArm 6167 is also referenced by aftermarket numbers including 510-1235 and E6167.

What It Helps Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the ball socket end sizes before installation: 10mm nylon on one end and 8mm nylon on the other. Confirm the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length match the original support before replacement. For proper operation and balanced support, replace lift supports in pairs when the vehicle uses two supports on the same lid.
