Product Details

StrongArm 6437 is engineered as a direct replacement lift support for BMW 323Ci, 325Ci, 330Ci, and M3 fitments listed above. The unit uses a pressurized cylinder design to help maintain steady support and smoother motion during operation. With a 19.0 mm cylinder outside diameter and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter, this part is built to match the specified application dimensions. This part cross-references BMW OE number 51 24 8 227 895 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Hood, hatch, or rear glass that drops instead of staying open
  • Slow or uneven lift support movement
  • Loss of holding force in the original gas strut
  • Excess effort needed to raise or lower the supported panel
  • Inconsistent operation on aging BMW lift support hardware

Installation Notes

Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced support and even operation. Confirm ball socket attachment points and verify the compressed and extended lengths match the vehicle application before installation. For BMW 325Ci, 330Ci, M3, and 323Ci fitments, use the listed application data to confirm proper placement and function.
