Product Details
StrongArm 6204 is a specific-fit tailgate lift support engineered for the Toyota Matrix rear hatch. The pressurized cylinder helps hold the tailgate in position during opening and closing, while the steel outer cylinder and ball-socket end design support stable attachment at the liftgate mounting points. With a 19.0 mm cylinder outside diameter and an 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter, this lift support is built around the dimensions needed for the listed application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Issues It Can Address
- Rear hatch that drops instead of staying open
- Tailgate that opens unevenly or feels weak
- Loss of lift support pressure over time
- Noise or rough movement when raising or lowering the hatch
- Difficulty keeping the Toyota Matrix rear liftgate positioned securely
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle application before installation and inspect the mounting points for wear or damage. StrongArm recommends replacing lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced rear hatch support and consistent operation. Confirm the ball socket end styles and compressed/extended lengths match the existing support before removal.
Quality Assurance
StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. Part number 6204 is built as a direct-fit replacement for the specified Toyota Matrix applications.
