Detailed Description of StrongArm Hood Lift Support 6879

This hood lift support is a specific fit for the Infiniti Q45, designed to replace factory-installed supports with a precise match in dimensions and performance. The steel outer cylinder finished in black offers resistance to environmental wear, while the nylon ball socket ends provide smooth pivot points that reduce noise and wear during hood operation. The absence of an internal rebound spring simplifies the design, focusing on consistent force delivery throughout the stroke length. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to minimize friction and extend service life. The 58-pound maximum force rating ensures the hood remains securely open without sagging or sudden closure.
