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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hood lift support is specifically compatible with Buick LeSabre models, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance.
