Built for Rear Trunk Support
StrongArm 7079 is a pressurized trunk lid lift support made for rear compartment applications where consistent opening and holding force matters. The 19.0 mm cylinder diameter and 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter support stable movement, while the specific-fit design matches the Mitsubishi Lancer trunk lid with spoiler across the 2008-2016 model years. If you are replacing a worn Mitsubishi Lancer trunk strut, this part number 7079 offers the correct fitment profile for direct service work.
This part cross-references AMS Automotive 7079 for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Trunk lid that drops after being opened
- Weak or inconsistent lift at the rear deck lid
- Trunk support that no longer holds the lid in position
- Slow, uneven, or noisy trunk opening action
- Wear-related loss of gas pressure in the original support
Installation Notes and Tips
Replace lift supports in pairs to maintain balanced trunk lid operation and reliable support. Confirm the vehicle is a 2008-2016 Mitsubishi Lancer with spoiler before installation, and match the 10 mm nylon ball socket ends to the existing mounting points. Verify the compressed and extended lengths against the original support before final installation.
