Detailed Description

The gas-charged cylinder measures 23.4 inches extended and 15.15 inches compressed, with an 8.25-inch stroke and 95.0 maximum force to help maintain controlled movement at the supported panel. The steel outer cylinder and nylon ball socket ends are built for a precise OE-style fit, while the rubber and Teflon internal materials support smooth cycling over repeated use.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6368 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Weak or failing hood, hatch, or rear glass support
  • Panel drop after opening
  • Uneven or inconsistent lift resistance
  • Noise or rough movement from worn gas struts
  • Difficulty keeping the supported panel open

Compare the original support to StrongArm 6368 to ensure the correct fitment and force rating for the application.
