Detailed Product Description

The StrongArm 6761 hood lift support is designed to replace worn or failing hood struts on Toyota 4Runner vehicles. With a compressed length of 10.81 inches and an extended length of 16.56 inches, this gas spring provides the correct range of motion for secure hood lifting and holding. The 18.0 mm steel cylinder offers strength and durability, while the 5.75-inch stroke length ensures smooth extension and retraction. Both ends feature ball socket nylon fittings—one standard 10mm and one angled 16mm at 16 degrees—to match factory mounting points precisely. The inclusion of rubber and Teflon materials reduces friction and wear, contributing to longer service life. This hood lift support does not include an internal rebound spring, focusing on consistent force delivery up to 70 lbs to safely hold the hood open during maintenance or inspection.
