What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds a panel in position
• Slow or inconsistent opening action on the supported panel
• Loss of support force in aging hatch, hood, or decklid hardware
• Replacement needs for original equipment-style service on listed GM vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and notes before ordering. Fitment includes 1980-1984 Pontiac Phoenix, with a separate listing for 1980-1984 Pontiac Phoenix w/o Defroster Terminal, so the configuration must match the vehicle exactly. Confirm the existing support length and mounting style against the original part before installation.
