Detailed Description of the StrongArm 6549 Lift Support

This trunk lid lift support is a specific fit for Ford Taurus vehicles, designed to replace worn or failing gas struts. The steel outer cylinder with a black finish offers resistance to environmental wear, while the nylon ball socket ends provide a secure and noise-free connection to the trunk lid and body. The 9.31-inch compressed length and 12.56-inch extended length ensure proper fitment and function, matching factory specifications. Without an internal rebound spring, this lift support relies on its gas pressure and materials to maintain consistent lift force. The 138 Newton maximum force rating is calibrated to support the trunk lid weight of the Ford Taurus, preventing sudden closures and easing trunk access.
