Installation Notes and Tips
Verify end type and length before installation to confirm the StrongArm 6171 matches the original support. Inspect the mounting points and ball studs for wear or damage before attaching the new lift support. Because lift supports are commonly replaced to restore balanced operation, confirm the trunk lid opens and closes smoothly after installation on your 2007-2009 Saturn Aura.
