StrongArm 6291 Hatch Lift Support
StrongArm 6291 Lift Support for Audi Applications
StrongArm 6291 is a specific-fit lift support for select Audi hood, hatch, and rear glass applications. It uses a pressurized cylinder design with nylon ball socket ends for smooth opening and controlled holding force.
Key Features
- Specific-fit lift support for confirmed Audi applications
- Extended length: 19.68 in.; compressed length: 12.18 in.
- Stroke length: 7.5 in. with 125 lb maximum force
- Black steel outer cylinder with rubber and Teflon materials
- 10 mm nylon ball socket ends on both sides
- No internal rebound spring
Detailed Description
StrongArm 6291 is engineered as a replacement gas strut for Audi hood and liftgate-style support applications, including 2004-2008 Audi S4, 2002-2007 Audi A4 Quattro, and 2004-2005 Audi A4. The pressurized cylinder helps maintain steady support while opening and closing panels, and the specific-fit design matches the listed vehicle applications for straightforward replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The part number 6291 is also referenced under interchange listings for related OE and aftermarket applications.
What It Helps Fix
- Weak hood or hatch support that no longer holds position
- Slow, uneven, or heavy panel movement when opening
- Drooping rear glass or liftgate support on listed Audi models
- Loss of consistent lift force from an aging gas strut
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, stroke, and end style before installation. The 10 mm nylon ball socket ends must match the vehicle mounting points, and the support should be replaced in pairs when servicing the same panel to maintain balanced operation. Confirm fitment for your exact Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, or Audi S4 year before ordering StrongArm 6291.
