Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6791 gas strut features a durable steel outer cylinder finished in black to resist corrosion and wear. Its 18.0 mm diameter cylinder and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter provide a robust structure capable of handling a maximum force of 79 Newtons. The 8.25-inch stroke length allows for smooth extension and compression between the compressed length of 13.21 inches and extended length of 21.46 inches. Both ends are equipped with 10mm nylon ball sockets, ensuring secure attachment points and reducing noise and vibration during operation. The inclusion of rubber and Teflon materials enhances sealing and reduces friction for consistent performance. This gas strut does not include an internal rebound spring, focusing on straightforward, reliable function.

Applications and Problem Solving

This gas strut is designed for specific use on Ford Fiesta vehicles, making it suitable for applications such as supporting hoods, trunks, or tailgates where controlled lifting and holding force is required. It addresses common issues including:

• Difficulty in lifting or holding open vehicle panels
• Unstable or jerky motion during opening or closing
• Wear or failure of original gas springs causing sagging
• Noise or vibration from worn mounting points
• Corrosion or damage to existing struts reducing lifespan

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 6791 gas strut requires matching the specific mounting points on the Ford Fiesta. Both ends use 10mm nylon ball sockets, so ensure the mounting studs are compatible and in good condition. It is recommended to replace gas struts in pairs to maintain balanced support. Avoid forcing the strut beyond its stroke length during installation to prevent damage. Proper alignment and secure attachment will ensure optimal performance and longevity.
