Detailed Description

This StrongArm 6436 lift support is engineered for trunk lid use and built to match the specified fitment for Ford Focus models with spoiler applications, plus the 2001 Ford Focus without rear spoiler. The compact cylinder dimensions and 94.0 force rating support smooth opening and holding action for the trunk lid, while the nylon ball socket ends provide a direct connection at the mounting points. StrongArm manufactures these lift supports beyond standard industry requirements to promote consistent operation and long service life. This part number, 6436, is also referenced in OE-style interchange listings for related applications.

Compatible With: 2000 Ford Focus, with spoiler; 2001 Ford Focus, without rear spoiler; 2002-2011 Ford Focus, with spoiler. If you are replacing a worn trunk support on a Ford Focus, 6436 is the direct part number to verify against your existing unit.

What It Helps Solve

• Trunk lid that will not stay open
• Slow or weak lift action when opening the trunk
• Uneven or inconsistent trunk lid support
• Worn gas strut performance from age and pressure loss
• Noise or binding caused by a deteriorated lift support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, spoiler configuration, and end fittings before ordering. This support uses 10mm nylon ball socket ends, so the mounting style must match the original part. For proper operation and balanced support, replace lift supports in pairs when the vehicle uses two supports on the same opening.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer-lasting performance. Part number 6436 cross-references AMS Automotive 6436 for the same application.
