Product Details

StrongArm 6215 is a tailgate lift support built around the dimensions and mounting style required for the Subaru Impreza rear hatch. The cylinder uses a black steel outer body, an 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter, and nylon ball socket ends at both connections for a direct replacement fit. With a 22.11-inch extended length and 8.25-inch stroke, this lift support is specified for the rear tailgate application on 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 Subaru Impreza models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The StrongArm 6215 is also listed under interchange part numbers including 510-1077 and 819-6493.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Tailgate that drops instead of staying open
  • Rear hatch that feels heavy or difficult to lift
  • Uneven or inconsistent hatch support during opening
  • Worn gas strut performance after age and repeated use
  • Reduced control when opening or closing the rear liftgate

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke, and 10 mm ball socket end style before installation on your Subaru Impreza. Inspect the mounting points for wear or looseness, and confirm the lift support is oriented to match the original tailgate hardware. For safe, reliable rear hatch support, replace lift supports in pairs when the opposite side is also worn.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. The 6215 is built as a direct-fit replacement for the specified Subaru Impreza tailgate application.
