Technical Details and Compatibility

This liftgate lift support, part number 7026, is a specific fit for Mitsubishi Outlander models. It features a steel outer cylinder finished in black for corrosion resistance and durability. The ball socket ends with nylon construction provide secure attachment points while allowing smooth pivoting action. The 7.25-inch stroke length and 100 Newton maximum force rating ensure adequate support for the liftgate weight and movement. The absence of an internal rebound spring means the support relies on its gas pressure and materials for consistent performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Supports the liftgate to prevent sudden closing or slamming
• Replaces worn or weak lift supports that no longer hold the liftgate open
• Eliminates liftgate sagging or difficulty in opening
• Restores smooth and controlled liftgate operation
• Prevents damage to liftgate hinges caused by improper support

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 7026 liftgate lift support requires removal of the old lift support and attachment of the new unit using the ball socket ends. Ensure the correct orientation of the 16-degree angled ball socket end for proper fitment. Use appropriate tools to avoid damage to the nylon sockets during installation. It is recommended to replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced liftgate operation.
