Product Details

The StrongArm 6562 Hood Lift Support is a precision-engineered gas strut designed to provide smooth, reliable operation for lifting and supporting vehicle hoods. This pressurized cylinder delivers consistent force throughout its range of motion, ensuring your hood opens easily and stays securely in place during maintenance.

Key Features:

  • Custom-engineered design manufactured beyond OEM industry standards
  • Pressurized gas cylinder construction for smooth, controlled operation
  • Durable materials engineered for extended service life
  • Provides consistent support force to safely hold hood in open position
  • Direct replacement for worn or failed factory lift supports

Lift supports gradually lose pressure over time, causing hoods to drop unexpectedly or require manual propping. StrongArm recommends replacing lift supports in pairs to ensure balanced, safe operation and prevent uneven wear. This ensures your hood receives equal support on both sides for reliable performance.
