• Stroke length: 5.6 in. with 130 lb maximum force
• Steel outer cylinder with black finish

Detailed Description

The StrongArm 6509L lift support is engineered for the 2000-2005 Toyota Celica left-side application with a small spoiler. As a pressurized cylinder, it provides the force needed to hold the supported panel open and deliver controlled opening and closing action. The steel cylinder, nylon ball socket end, and blade-with-bracket mounting style match the specific vehicle application, while the 130 lb force rating and 5.6-inch stroke support consistent movement. This part number, 6509L, is also referenced for OE-style replacement needs on the Toyota Celica platform.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Solve

• Hood, hatch, or rear glass that drops instead of staying open
• Slow or uneven lift action when opening the supported panel
• Loss of holding force from a worn gas strut
• Excess effort needed to raise the panel by hand
• Inconsistent support on the left side of the Toyota Celica

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2000-2005 Toyota Celica with small spoiler and confirm left-side mounting before ordering. Match the compressed length, extended length, stroke, and end types to the original support for proper fitment. Replace the support in pairs when servicing both sides of the vehicle so the opening force remains balanced and the panel moves evenly.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. Part number 6509L is built for direct-fit replacement on the specified Toyota Celica application.
