Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6240 hood lift support features a robust steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. The gas strut extends from a compressed length of 17.08 inches to a full extended length of 29.38 inches, providing a stroke length of 12.3 inches. The inner shaft diameter measures 8.0 mm, ensuring smooth and stable movement. Both ends are equipped with nylon ball sockets—one 10mm and the other a 16mm angled at 16 degrees—to fit securely onto the designated mounting points of the Hyundai Azera hood assembly. The absence of an internal rebound spring allows for consistent force application, rated at a maximum of 88 pounds, to hold the hood firmly in place during use.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This hood lift support is a specific fit for Hyundai Azera models, designed to replace worn or failing hood struts. It is ideal for addressing issues such as:

• Difficulty in holding the hood open securely
• Hood closing unexpectedly or slamming shut
• Excessive effort required to lift the hood
• Worn or leaking gas struts causing reduced support
• Corrosion or damage to original hood lift supports

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6240 hood lift support requires removal of the old strut by detaching the ball socket ends from the hood and frame mounts. The nylon ball sockets on this part allow for straightforward snap-on installation without the need for special tools. Ensure the hood is securely propped open during replacement to avoid injury. Verify that the angled 16-degree ball socket end aligns correctly with the mounting point on the vehicle. After installation, test the hood operation to confirm smooth lifting and secure holding.
