Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6267 hood lift support requires removal of the old strut and attachment of the new one using the ball socket ends. Ensure the nylon ball sockets are securely snapped onto the mounting studs. The angled 16-degree end should be installed according to the vehicle’s hood hinge orientation for proper fit. No internal rebound spring is included, so handle with care during installation to avoid sudden compression. Verify the hood opens and closes smoothly after installation.
