Technical Details and Construction

The StrongArm 6845 gas strut features a robust steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and longevity. Its 19.0 mm diameter cylinder and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter provide the necessary strength for consistent lift support. The gas strut operates without an internal rebound spring, relying on its precise stroke length of 8.75 inches to deliver smooth extension and compression. The ball socket ends, one standard 10mm nylon and the other a 16-degree angled 16mm nylon, ensure secure and proper mounting specific to BMW X3 applications. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and wear, enhancing the strut's operational life.
