The lift support operates without an internal rebound spring, relying on its gas pressure to maintain consistent force throughout the stroke length of 3.5 inches. This specific fit part is engineered to deliver a maximum force of 132 Newtons, suitable for supporting trunk lids on compatible vehicle models.
