• Weak lift support pressure at the trunk compartment
• Noise or rough movement when raising the trunk lid
• Difficulty accessing the cargo area due to failing support force

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and ball socket end types before installation to confirm the correct application. StrongArm recommends replacing lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced rear lid operation and reliable support. Before removal, support the trunk lid securely so it does not drop when the old support is disconnected.
