Durable Construction and Precise Fitment

The StrongArm 6489 hood lift support is built with a steel outer cylinder finished in black to resist corrosion and wear. Its specific fitment for Hyundai Sonata models ensures proper alignment and function. The gas strut features a 5.5-inch stroke length and a maximum force of 76 pounds, providing steady and controlled hood lifting and holding. Nylon ball sockets on both ends, including a 16-degree angled socket, allow for secure attachment and smooth pivoting during hood operation. The inclusion of rubber and Teflon materials reduces friction and extends the lifespan of the support.

Purpose and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or weak hood lift supports that fail to hold the hood open
• Eliminates difficulty in lifting or lowering the hood smoothly
• Prevents hood from slamming shut unexpectedly
• Restores proper hood alignment and support for safety
• Addresses rattling or loose hood issues caused by faulty struts

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6489 hood lift support requires removal of the old strut and attachment of the new support using the ball socket ends. Ensure the ball sockets snap securely onto the mounting points on the hood and frame. The angled 16-degree ball socket should be installed according to the original orientation for proper fitment. No internal rebound spring is included, so handle the support carefully during installation to avoid damage. Verify the hood opens and closes smoothly after installation.
