Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6757 hood lift support features a robust steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and long service life. The gas strut has a compressed length of 15.63 inches and extends to 26.38 inches, providing a stroke length of 10.75 inches. The inner shaft diameter measures 8.0 mm, contributing to smooth and consistent operation. Both ends are equipped with nylon ball sockets—one 10mm and the other a 16-degree angled 16mm—to ensure precise fitment and secure attachment points. The use of rubber and Teflon materials enhances durability and reduces friction during movement. This hood lift support does not include an internal rebound spring, focusing on steady and controlled hood support with a maximum force of 37 lbs.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This hood lift support is specifically engineered for Toyota Avalon and Toyota Camry models, providing a direct replacement for worn or failing hood struts. It is ideal for drivers experiencing issues such as:

• Difficulty lifting or holding the hood open
• Hood falling unexpectedly or not staying open
• Worn or leaking gas struts
• Loose or damaged ball socket ends
• Corrosion or physical damage to existing hood supports

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6757 hood lift support requires removal of the old strut and attachment of the new unit using the ball socket ends. Ensure the hood is securely propped open during replacement to avoid injury. The nylon ball sockets should snap firmly onto the mounting studs without excessive force. Verify the orientation of the angled 16-degree end for proper alignment. No special tools are typically required beyond standard hand tools. After installation, test the hood operation to confirm smooth lifting and secure holding.
