Technical Details and Construction

This StrongArm gas strut 6871 features a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. The specific fitment for Nissan Note and Versa Note ensures proper alignment and function. The gas spring has a 9-inch stroke length, providing controlled extension and compression. The ball socket ends, including a nylon angled 16-degree socket and a 10mm nylon ball socket, allow for secure mounting and reduce wear on pivot points. The absence of an internal rebound spring means the strut operates with consistent force throughout its stroke.

Applications and Problem Solving

This gas strut is used primarily for supporting liftgates, hoods, or hatchbacks on Nissan Note and Versa Note vehicles. It addresses common issues such as:

• Difficulty holding open liftgates or hatches
• Uneven or jerky opening and closing motions
• Worn or leaking original gas springs
• Reduced lifting force causing safety concerns
• Corrosion or damage to existing struts

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm gas strut 6871 requires matching the compressed and extended lengths to the original equipment specifications. Ensure the ball socket ends align correctly with the mounting points on your Nissan Note or Versa Note. Lubricate pivot points if necessary and avoid forcing the strut beyond its stroke length. Proper installation will maintain smooth operation and extend the service life of the gas spring.

StrongArm gas struts are manufactured to meet strict quality standards using steel cylinders and durable materials like rubber and Teflon for reliable performance. While specific warranty details for part number 6871 are not provided, StrongArm products typically undergo rigorous testing to ensure durability and consistent force output. For best results, use this gas strut as a direct replacement for Nissan Note and Versa Note models requiring a 63 lb force rating.
