Detailed Description
StrongArm 6170 is built as a pressurized gas lift support for automotive hood, hatch, and rear window glass applications. The specific-fit design helps match the original mounting and operating geometry on 2008-2009 Chrysler Cirrus and 2008-2009 Chrysler Sebring, making it a practical choice when replacing a worn lift strut. This part number, 6170, is also referenced under AMS Automotive 6170 and cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 819-6561 for the same application.
With a steel outer cylinder, ball socket end fittings, and a 93.0 force rating, StrongArm 6170 is built for controlled lift and consistent support. The compact compressed length and 11.62-inch extended length are important fitment details for Chrysler Cirrus and Chrysler Sebring hood or hatch service where correct travel and mounting style matter.
Common Issues This Part Can Help Solve
- Hood, hatch, or rear glass that will not stay open
- Slow or weak lift action when opening the panel
- Drooping or falling liftgate, hatch, or hood
- Uneven support caused by a worn gas strut
- Loss of controlled closing and opening movement
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the end fittings, compressed length, extended length, and force rating before installation. StrongArm recommends replacing lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced operation and reliable support. Confirm the mounting points on the vehicle and compare the existing strut to StrongArm 6170 before removal.
Quality Assurance
