Detailed Product Description

The StrongArm 6452 hood lift support is a vehicle-specific replacement part designed to fit the Toyota Avalon. Its steel outer cylinder with a black finish offers resistance to wear and environmental factors. The lift support features a 15.25-inch compressed length and extends up to 26.0 inches, providing the necessary range of motion for the hood. The 18.0 mm cylinder diameter and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter contribute to the structural integrity and smooth function of the support. Equipped with nylon ball socket ends—one 10 mm and the other angled at 16 degrees with a 16 mm diameter—this lift support ensures a secure and precise fit. The absence of an internal rebound spring means the support relies on its gas pressure and mechanical design for consistent performance. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance durability during hood operation.
