Detailed Product Description

The StrongArm 6171 trunk lid lift support is a specific fit replacement part designed for the Saturn Aura. Its steel outer cylinder with a black finish offers corrosion resistance and strength, while the nylon ball socket ends (10mm and 8mm) provide secure attachment points for smooth pivoting action. The lift support features a 3.75-inch stroke length and a maximum force rating of 76 Newtons, ensuring adequate support to hold the trunk lid open safely. The internal components include rubber and Teflon materials to reduce friction and wear, although this model does not include an internal rebound spring.
