The 18.0 mm diameter cylinder houses an 8.0 mm inner shaft designed for smooth extension and retraction over a 6.25-inch stroke. Both ends are equipped with nylon ball sockets—one standard 10mm and one angled 16-degree 16mm—to ensure precise fitment and articulation. The absence of an internal rebound spring allows for consistent damping force up to 85 Newtons, suitable for specific Mazda applications requiring controlled lift and support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Mazda Models and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gas strut is specifically compatible with certain Mazda models, engineered to meet the exact specifications required for proper fit and function.

Ensure the 10mm and 16mm nylon ball sockets align correctly with the corresponding fittings on the Mazda model. Proper orientation of the angled ball socket (16 degrees) is critical for smooth operation. Lubricate mounting points if necessary and verify the strut’s stroke length and force are appropriate for the application before final installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrongArm gas struts are manufactured to meet industry standards for durability and performance. The 6701 model is constructed with high-quality steel and engineered components including rubber and Teflon materials to reduce friction and extend service life. While no internal rebound spring is included, the strut is designed to provide consistent force throughout its stroke.
