Durable Construction and Precise Fit

Its 19.0 mm diameter cylinder and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter provide strength and stability during operation. The nylon ball socket ends, sized at 10 mm, allow for secure attachment points that reduce noise and wear. The absence of an internal rebound spring simplifies the design, relying on high-quality rubber and Teflon materials to ensure smooth, consistent movement throughout the 7.75-inch stroke length. This gas strut is engineered to meet the specific requirements of Hyundai Accent vehicles, ensuring proper fitment and reliable function.
