Detailed Description of StrongArm Part 6476

This StrongArm gas strut (part number 6476) is constructed with a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and longevity. The strut features a 6-inch stroke length, allowing smooth extension and compression between its compressed length of 11.75 inches and extended length of 17.75 inches.
