Product Details

StrongArm 6369 is engineered as a direct replacement lift support for 1994 Audi 100 and 1995-1997 Audi A6 applications. The cylinder is built with a steel outer body, rubber and Teflon materials, and a 18.0 mm cylinder outside diameter with an 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter. This part number, 6369, is designed to restore consistent lift assistance for the specified Audi hood or hatch setup while maintaining smooth operation.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6369 for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Address

  • Hood, hatch, or rear glass that drops instead of staying open
  • Weak or inconsistent lift assistance during opening
  • Slow, uneven, or rough support movement
  • Loss of holding force in aging gas struts
  • Difficulty keeping the panel raised during service or loading

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke, and 10mm ball socket ends against the original support before installation. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so the opening force remains balanced across the hood, hatch, or liftgate. Confirm fitment for your Audi A6 or Audi 100 by model year before ordering.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm states that each lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to support smoother operation and longer service life. Fitment is listed for 1994 Audi 100 and 1995-1997 Audi A6 applications, and part number 6369 is built to match those specific vehicle requirements.
