Technical Description and Specifications

The StrongArm 6749 gas strut is constructed with a durable steel outer cylinder finished in black, providing corrosion resistance and strength. The 19.0 mm cylinder diameter and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter ensure compatibility with specific automotive applications requiring these dimensions. Both ends feature 10mm ball sockets made from a nylon-steel composite, allowing secure and flexible mounting points. The absence of an internal rebound spring indicates this strut is designed for controlled damping without additional spring force. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance longevity under typical automotive operating conditions.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Supports vehicle hood or trunk lids with precise lift and hold force
• Replaces worn or damaged gas struts in specific car models requiring 10.5-inch compressed length
• Addresses issues with uneven or insufficient lift force in OEM struts
• Prevents sudden closure or failure of lift supports due to loss of gas pressure
• Improves safety and convenience in vehicle component operation

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure compatibility by verifying compressed and extended lengths against the vehicle’s original strut
• Use appropriate tools to remove and install 10mm ball socket ends without damaging mounting points
• Lubricate ball sockets lightly if necessary to maintain smooth pivot action
• Do not compress the strut manually beyond specified stroke length to avoid damage
• Check alignment and secure mounting to prevent premature wear
