Detailed Description
StrongArm 6409 trunk lid lift support is built for the rear compartment lid on 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2007-2009 Pontiac G5, and 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit. This part number 6409 uses a specific-fit design with ball socket connections for accurate replacement on the intended vehicles. The cylinder measures 19.0 mm outside diameter and is constructed with a steel outer body for stable operation.
This StrongArm 6409 lift support is cross-referenced to Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and 182286 for the same application. It is a practical replacement when the original trunk support no longer holds the lid securely or opens with consistent resistance.
What It Helps Fix
- Trunk lid that drops instead of staying open
- Weak or uneven lift action at the rear compartment
- Slow, stiff, or inconsistent trunk opening
- Worn gas strut performance on Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G5, or Pontiac Pursuit
- Loss of controlled support for the trunk lid
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify fitment by year, make, and model before installation. StrongArm recommends replacing lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced support and consistent operation. Confirm the ball socket end sizes and mounting points match the vehicle before removal of the original support.
Quality Assurance
StrongArm states that each lift support is custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to deliver smoother operation and longer service life. Part number 6409 is built to meet the demands of the specified Chevrolet and Pontiac trunk lid applications.
