Product Details

StrongArm 6867 is a pressurized lift support built for hood support in automotive use. The cylinder is custom engineered to meet application-specific requirements and is manufactured to deliver smooth operation and consistent performance over time.

What It Helps Fix

  • Noise or binding from worn gas struts
  • Loss of stable hood support during service checks

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and 10 mm ball socket ends before installation. Confirm direct fitment for your BMW 328i, 335i, 335is, or M3 by matching the vehicle year and hood application. Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced hood support and consistent opening force.
