Product Details and Specifications

The StrongArm 6311 hood lift support is a specific fit part designed exclusively for the Kia Amanti model. Its steel outer cylinder with a black finish offers corrosion resistance and durability under various weather conditions.

Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to minimize friction and extend service life.

Purpose and Common Applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6311 hood lift support requires matching the specific ball socket ends to the factory mounting points on the Kia Amanti. Ensure the hood is securely propped open before removing the old lift support. The 10mm nylon ball sockets snap into place on the mounting studs, making installation straightforward. It is recommended to replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced hood operation. Verify the compressed and extended lengths during installation to confirm proper fit and function.
