Built for OE-Style Trunk Support

StrongArm 6169 is a pressurized cylinder engineered for trunk lid support in automotive applications. The specific-fit design matches the listed Cadillac STS applications, while the steel cylinder construction and internal sealing materials are selected for consistent operation and long service life. If you are replacing a worn trunk strut on a 2005-2011 Cadillac STS, this part number 6169 provides the correct fitment profile for the rear compartment lid.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Trunk lid that drops too quickly when opened
  • Weak or failed lift support that no longer holds the lid up
  • Inconsistent trunk opening effort on a Cadillac STS
  • Reduced support from an aging gas strut
  • Difficulty keeping the rear compartment lid open during loading

Installation Notes

Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced trunk lid operation and reliable support. Before installation, confirm the vehicle is a 2005-2011 Cadillac STS and verify the ball socket end sizes match the existing mounting points. After installation, cycle the trunk lid several times to confirm smooth movement and secure engagement at both ends.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer-lasting performance. Part number 6169 is built for specific-fit application accuracy on the Cadillac STS platform.
