Product Details and Specifications

The StrongArm 6582 hood lift support is a vehicle-specific component designed to fit the Buick LeSabre. It features a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. The lift support has a compressed length of 24.81 inches and extends to 33.31 inches, with an 8.5-inch stroke length to provide ample range of motion. The cylinder’s outside diameter measures 18.0 mm, while the inner shaft diameter is 8.0 mm, ensuring a robust structure capable of handling the hood’s weight. Both ends are equipped with nylon ball sockets—10mm on one end and 8mm on the other—to facilitate secure attachment and smooth pivoting during hood operation. The internal design excludes a rebound spring, focusing on steady and controlled support. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and wear over time.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6582 hood lift support requires matching the ball socket ends to the corresponding mounting points on the Buick LeSabre hood and frame.

Use appropriate tools to remove the old lift support and carefully snap the new unit into place without forcing the ball sockets.
