StrongArm 7026 Liftgate Lift Support

StrongArm 7026 Liftgate Lift Support for Outlander

StrongArm 7026 is a specific-fit liftgate lift support engineered for the rear hatch on select Mitsubishi Outlander models. It uses a pressurized cylinder design to provide smooth liftgate support and controlled operation for daily use.

Key Features

• Specific-fit liftgate lift support for select Mitsubishi Outlander applications
• Compressed length: 12.13 in.; extended length: 19.38 in.; stroke length: 7.25 in.
• Maximum force rating: 100.0
• Black steel outer cylinder with rubber and Teflon materials
• Ball socket ends: nylon 10mm on one end and nylon 16-degree on the other
• StrongArm part number 7026 for direct replacement matching

Detailed Description

This StrongArm 7026 liftgate lift support is built for rear hatch service on 2007-2011 Mitsubishi Outlander models without Power Lift Gate and 2012-2013 Mitsubishi Outlander models. It is a specific-fit replacement that follows the original application dimensions, including a 12.13-inch compressed length, 19.38-inch extended length, and 7.25-inch stroke. The steel cylinder construction and pressurized design help maintain steady liftgate support during opening and closing. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 7026 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Liftgate that drops too quickly when opened
• Rear hatch that no longer stays raised
• Weak or uneven hatch support during operation
• Difficulty opening the liftgate smoothly
• Worn gas strut performance on a Mitsubishi Outlander

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application before installation, especially on 2007-2011 Mitsubishi Outlander models without Power Lift Gate. Confirm the end fittings match the existing lift support: ball socket (nylon) 10mm on one end and ball socket (nylon) 16-degree on the other. For proper rear hatch balance and consistent operation, replace lift supports in pairs when both sides are worn.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to deliver smoother operation and longer service life. The brand’s design focus is on consistent pressurized support and application-specific fitment for automotive liftgate service.
