Detailed Description

StrongArm 6442 is a trunk lid lift support designed for the rear compartment on 1999-2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK320, 1999-2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK430, and 2001-2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG. This specific-fit gas strut uses pressurized cylinder construction to support the trunk lid with controlled lift and hold performance. The black steel cylinder, nylon ball socket ends, and internal rubber and Teflon materials are selected for dependable movement and long service life. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6442 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Trunk lid drops too quickly when opened
• Rear compartment lid will not stay raised
• Weak or inconsistent lift action at the trunk
• Binding, slow movement, or reduced support from the existing strut
• Need for a direct replacement on Mercedes-Benz CLK320, CLK430, or CLK55 AMG

Installation Notes

Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and ball socket end style before installation. Match the vehicle application carefully for 1999-2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK320, 1999-2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK430, or 2001-2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG. For safe, reliable trunk support, replace lift supports in pairs when the opposite side is also worn.

Quality Assurance
