Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6661 gas strut features a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. It has a compressed length of 11.88 inches and extends to 17.38 inches, providing a stroke length of 5.5 inches. The inner shaft diameter measures 10.0 mm, ensuring strength and stability during operation. Both ends are equipped with nylon ball sockets—one 10mm and the other a 16-degree angled 16mm—to fit specific mounting points on the Mazda CX-9. The strut does not include an internal rebound spring, focusing on smooth and controlled motion. Rubber and Teflon materials are used in the seals and internal components to reduce friction and enhance longevity.

Compatible Applications and Use Cases

This gas strut is specifically designed for use on Mazda CX-9 models, making it suitable for applications such as liftgate support, hood support, or other vehicle components requiring controlled lifting force. It addresses common issues including:

• Difficulty holding liftgate or hood open
• Excessive sagging or slow movement of supported panels
• Worn or leaking original gas struts
• Unstable or jerky motion during opening or closing
• Corrosion or damage to existing strut components

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6661 gas strut requires matching the ball socket ends to the corresponding mounting points on the Mazda CX-9. Ensure the 10mm nylon ball socket and the 16-degree angled 16mm ball socket align correctly with the vehicle's brackets. It is recommended to replace gas struts in pairs to maintain balanced support. Use appropriate tools to avoid damage to the nylon sockets during installation. Verify the strut orientation and stroke length to ensure proper function.
