Technical Details and Specifications

The StrongArm Hood Lift Support part number 6358 features a steel outer cylinder with a black finish, providing strength and corrosion resistance. The cylinder outside diameter measures 15.0 mm, while the inner shaft diameter is 6.0 mm. This hood lift support uses ball socket nylon ends sized at 10mm on both ends, ensuring a secure and precise fit to the hood and vehicle frame.
