The 19.0 mm outside diameter and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter provide a balance of strength and smooth movement. Both ends are equipped with 10mm nylon ball socket fittings, ensuring secure attachment points compatible with specific vehicle mounts. The internal design excludes a rebound spring, focusing on consistent damping force up to 128 Newtons. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance durability under repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicle Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gas strut is designed for specific fitment rather than universal use. It is commonly compatible with certain models of vehicles requiring a 7-inch stroke length and 11.1-inch compressed length gas spring. For example, it may be suitable for select Toyota Tacoma or Ford Ranger models where these dimensions and force ratings match OEM specifications. Always verify fitment with vehicle make and model before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports tailgate or hatchback lift and hold functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces worn or weak gas springs causing sagging or slow lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper tension in vehicle hood or trunk applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates rattling or loose movement in lift supports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves safety by maintaining controlled opening and closing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm exact fitment by comparing compressed and extended lengths with existing strut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse appropriate tools to remove and install 10mm ball socket ends without damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLubricate ball sockets lightly if needed to prevent squeaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall with cylinder oriented downward to prolong seal life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck for secure attachment and smooth operation after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe StrongArm 6504 gas strut is manufactured to meet industry standards for durability and performance.
