Detailed Description

StrongArm 7052 is a direct-fit lift support built for Mercedes-Benz GLK applications that use a pressurized cylinder to hold body panels in position. It is engineered to deliver steady lift and controlled lowering for the hood, hatch, or rear window glass, depending on the vehicle application. This part number 7052 cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and 182286 for the same application.

Compatible With 2013-2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK250, except power liftgate, and 2010-2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350, except power liftgate. The specific-fit design helps ensure correct length, stroke, and end fittings for the listed Mercedes-Benz GLK models.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Hood, hatch, or rear glass that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent lift support pressure
• Slow or uneven opening and closing action
• Noise or binding from a worn gas strut
• Loss of support on select Mercedes-Benz GLK250 and GLK350 vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment before ordering by matching the model year and noting the power liftgate exclusion. Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced operation and reliable support. Before removal, support the hood, hatch, or glass securely so the panel does not drop when the old support is disconnected.

Quality Assurance

StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. Part number 7052 is built as a specific replacement for the listed Mercedes-Benz GLK applications.
