Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6314 hood lift support features a steel outer cylinder finished in black to resist corrosion and wear. The gas spring has a compressed length of 9.89 inches and extends to 15.64 inches, providing a stroke length of 5.75 inches. The inner shaft diameter measures 8.0 mm, ensuring strength and durability under repeated use. Both ends are equipped with ball socket nylon bearings—one at a 16-degree angle and the other sized at 10mm—to facilitate smooth pivoting and secure attachment points. The internal design excludes a rebound spring, focusing on consistent damping performance. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance longevity. This hood lift support is a specific fit for the Kia Sedona, ensuring proper fitment and function.

Use appropriate tools to avoid damage to the nylon bearings during installation.
