Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6567 hood lift support features a steel outer cylinder finished in black to resist corrosion and wear. The gas strut has a compressed length of 17.59 inches and extends to 29.09 inches, providing an 11.5-inch stroke length suitable for the hood dimensions of Saab 9-3 and 9-3X vehicles. The inner shaft diameter measures 8.0 mm, ensuring strength and stability during operation. Both ends utilize ball socket fittings—one with a 16-degree nylon angled socket and the other with a 10mm nylon-steel socket—allowing for precise and secure mounting points. The internal design excludes a rebound spring, focusing on consistent lift force rated at 73 Newtons. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance durability.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This hood lift support is specifically designed for Saab 9-3 and 9-3X models, ensuring exact fitment and reliable hood support. It is ideal for replacing worn or failing hood struts that no longer hold the hood securely open or cause difficulty when lifting the hood.

• Eliminates hood sagging or dropping unexpectedly

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6567 hood lift support requires removal of the old strut and attachment of the new unit using the ball socket ends. Ensure the sockets are securely snapped onto the mounting points on the hood and frame. It is recommended to replace both hood lift supports simultaneously for balanced performance. Use appropriate tools to avoid damage to the nylon sockets during installation.
