Technical Description and Specifications

The StrongArm 6744 gas strut features a steel outer cylinder with a black finish, providing corrosion resistance and durability under automotive conditions. The 19.0 mm cylinder diameter and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter are designed to deliver a maximum force of 134 Newtons, suitable for controlled lifting and support applications. Both ends are equipped with 10mm nylon-steel ball socket fittings, ensuring secure attachment points and reducing wear. The absence of an internal rebound spring allows for consistent damping characteristics. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to minimize friction and extend service life.

Compatible Vehicle Applications

This gas strut is designed for specific fitment and is compatible with select makes and models requiring a 12.47-inch compressed length and 20.72-inch extended length gas spring. It is commonly used in automotive lift supports such as hoods, trunks, and tailgates where precise stroke length and force are critical. Verify vehicle compatibility by matching the StrongArm 6744 part number and dimensions with manufacturer specifications.

Common Uses and Problem Resolution

• Supports vehicle hood or trunk lift mechanisms
• Replaces worn or weak gas springs causing sagging or slow lift
• Restores proper lift force for smooth opening and closing
• Eliminates rattling or loose fitment in lift supports
• Prevents damage from failed or leaking gas struts

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the StrongArm 6744 gas strut matches the original part number and dimensions before installation. Use appropriate tools to remove and install the 10mm ball socket ends without damaging the nylon or steel components. Lubricate pivot points if necessary, but avoid contaminating the gas strut shaft. Confirm proper orientation and stroke direction during installation to maintain optimal performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

StrongArm gas struts are manufactured to meet industry standards for durability and performance. The 6744 model undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent force output and fitment accuracy. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product documentation or supplier to ensure protection against manufacturing defects.
