Detailed Product Description

The StrongArm 7046 trunk lid lift support is a vehicle-specific replacement part tailored for Jaguar XK and XKR vehicles. Its steel outer cylinder, coated in black, offers resistance against wear and environmental factors. The lift support features a 13.81-inch compressed length and extends to 21.06 inches, providing a 7.25-inch stroke length to accommodate the trunk lid's range of motion. Both ends utilize 10mm nylon ball sockets, with one end angled at 16 degrees to ensure proper alignment and secure attachment. The internal design excludes a rebound spring, focusing on consistent force delivery up to 107 pounds, which is sufficient to hold the trunk lid open safely. Rubber and Teflon materials are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance durability over time.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or weak trunk lid supports on Jaguar XK and XKR models
• Prevents trunk lid from slamming shut unexpectedly
• Eliminates difficulty in opening or holding the trunk lid open
• Restores smooth and controlled trunk lid operation
• Addresses rattling or loose trunk lid issues caused by failing lift supports

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the StrongArm 7046 trunk lid lift support requires matching the ball socket ends to the factory mounting points on the Jaguar XK or XKR. Ensure the 16-degree angled end is positioned correctly to align with the vehicle’s mounting bracket.
