Detailed Description of the StrongArm 6536 Hood Lift Support

This hood lift support is a specific fit for Volkswagen Polo vehicles, designed to replace worn or failing hood struts. The steel outer cylinder with a black finish offers strength and resistance to environmental factors. The ball socket ends, featuring nylon and steel construction, provide secure attachment points with minimal wear. With a maximum force of 75 pounds, the lift support maintains the hood in an open position safely and reliably. The 7.75-inch stroke length allows for smooth extension and compression during hood operation. The absence of an internal rebound spring means the support relies on its gas pressure and mechanical design for consistent performance.
