Detailed Description

StrongArm 6847 is a hood lift support engineered for specific vehicle fitment and consistent hood retention. It uses a pressurized cylinder design to help raise and hold the hood with controlled motion, reducing abrupt drop or uneven support during service. This replacement is listed for 2013 INFINITI JX35 and 2014-2020 INFINITI QX60, making it a direct-fit option for owners searching for a hood lift support for INFINITI QX60 2014-2020 or a hood strut for INFINITI JX35 2013. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6847 for the same application.

The unit features an 8.0-inch compressed length, 11.75-inch extended length, and 3.75-inch stroke length, along with a 60.0 maximum force rating. A black steel outer cylinder, nylon ball socket end fittings, and internal rubber/Teflon materials support smooth operation and long service life in hood applications. StrongArm part number 6847 is a practical replacement choice when the original hood support no longer holds position reliably.

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that will not stay open on a 2014-2020 INFINITI QX60
• Weak or slow hood lift action on a 2013 INFINITI JX35
• Uneven hood support during underhood inspections
• Hood drop or reduced hold-open force from worn gas struts
• Noisy or inconsistent hood movement from aging lift supports

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment before installation by matching the year, model, and end fitting style. Hood lift supports should be replaced in pairs to maintain balanced support and consistent operation across the hood. Confirm the ball socket connection points and support length before removing the original unit. For best results, support the hood securely during replacement and cycle the hood several times after installation to confirm proper engagement.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed typical industry standards for smoother operation and longer-lasting performance. Part number 6847 is built for specific-fit replacement use on select INFINITI hood applications, including the QX60 and JX35.
