It features a 7.5-inch stroke length, allowing smooth extension and compression within the specified range of 12.15 to 19.65 inches. The gas strut uses nylon ball sockets on both ends—one straight 10mm and one angled 16-degree 16mm—to ensure a secure and precise fit on the Dodge Journey. Internal components include rubber and Teflon materials to reduce friction and wear, although this model does not include an internal rebound spring. The maximum force rating of 127 Newtons provides adequate support for applications requiring controlled lifting and holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Applications and Use Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports liftgate or hatchback operation on Dodge Journey models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces worn or failing gas struts to restore smooth opening and closing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents sudden drops or slamming of vehicle panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains proper tension and positioning of lift supports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves safety and convenience when accessing rear cargo areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of the StrongArm 6451 gas strut requires matching the specific ball socket sizes and angles to the vehicle’s mounting points. Ensure the 10mm nylon ball socket and the 16-degree angled 16mm socket align correctly with the Dodge Journey’s liftgate fittings. Use appropriate tools to carefully remove the old strut and snap the new one into place without forcing the ball sockets. Verify the compressed and extended lengths fit within the vehicle’s specifications to avoid binding or overextension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrongArm gas struts are manufactured to meet industry standards for durability and performance.
