Technical Details and Compatibility

The StrongArm 6302 hood lift support is a specific fit for the Jaguar X-Type, ensuring proper alignment and function. Its steel outer cylinder with a black finish offers resistance to corrosion and wear. The 10mm nylon ball socket ends provide a secure and quiet connection to the hood and frame. With a stroke length of 5.4 inches and a maximum force of 83 Newtons, this lift support balances ease of use with reliable hood holding power. The inclusion of rubber and Teflon materials reduces friction and extends the lifespan of the component.

Purpose and Problem Solving

• Supports the hood securely during maintenance or inspection
• Prevents sudden hood drops that can cause injury or damage
• Replaces worn or weak lift supports that no longer hold the hood properly
• Eliminates hood rattling or vibration while driving
• Restores smooth hood opening and closing action

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6302 hood lift support requires matching the ball socket ends to the factory mounting points on the Jaguar X-Type. Ensure the hood is safely propped open before removing the old lift support. The 10mm nylon ball sockets snap onto the mounting studs with moderate pressure. Verify the compressed and extended lengths match the original part to confirm fitment. No internal rebound spring is included, so handle the hood carefully during installation to avoid sudden movement.

The 6302 part number undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent force and reliable performance. While no internal rebound spring is present, the design focuses on durability and smooth operation. Warranty details should be confirmed with the point of purchase, but StrongArm products typically include coverage against manufacturing defects.
