Its 7-inch stroke length allows for smooth and controlled motion, while the 18 mm cylinder diameter and 8 mm inner shaft diameter provide structural strength. The nylon angled ball socket on one end and standard nylon ball socket on the other ensure secure attachment points with minimal wear. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance seal integrity. This gas strut does not include an internal rebound spring, focusing on consistent damping performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicle Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gas strut is designed for specific fitment rather than universal use. It is commonly compatible with select makes and models requiring a 12.59-inch compressed length and 19.59-inch extended length gas spring with a 75 lb force rating. Typical applications include lift supports for hoods, trunks, tailgates, and hatchbacks on vehicles such as Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Toyota Tacoma.
