Detailed Description of StrongArm 6588 Lift Support

The StrongArm 6588 trunk lid lift support is a specific fit part engineered for Mercedes-Benz C230 and C320 vehicles. Its 14.91-inch compressed length and 22.91-inch extended length with an 8-inch stroke provide the exact range of motion needed for proper trunk lid operation. The steel outer cylinder, coated in black, offers durability and resistance to environmental wear.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the StrongArm 6588 trunk lid lift support, ensure the ball socket ends align properly with the mounting points on the trunk lid and vehicle frame.
