Detailed Product Description

The StrongArm 6500 gas strut is a vehicle-specific component designed to provide consistent lift support and controlled motion for rear hatch or hood applications on Chevrolet Aveo and Pontiac G3 vehicles. Its steel outer cylinder, finished in black, ensures durability and resistance to wear. The 19.0 mm cylinder diameter combined with an 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter balances strength and smooth operation. The gas strut extends from a compressed length of 10.03 inches to a full extended length of 15.28 inches, offering a stroke length of 5.25 inches to accommodate precise lift requirements.

Equipped with nylon ball socket ends—one 10mm and the other angled at 16 degrees—this gas strut ensures secure attachment and proper articulation. The inclusion of rubber and Teflon materials reduces friction and noise during operation. With a maximum force of 101.0 Newtons, the StrongArm 6500 provides reliable support for the lift mechanism without rebound spring interference.
