Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6768 hood lift support features a robust steel outer cylinder finished in black to resist corrosion and wear. Its compressed length measures 10.43 inches, extending to 16.18 inches with a stroke length of 5.75 inches, providing the necessary range of motion for BMW X5 and X6 hoods. The inner shaft diameter is 8.0 mm, and the cylinder outside diameter is 18.0 mm, ensuring a precise fit and smooth operation.
