Product Description
StrongArm gas charged lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured beyond industry standards to provide smooth operation and durability. The hardened chromium plated steel shaft is precision ground and polished for superior corrosion resistance and leak free sealing. The self cleaning piston assembly automatically opens during each compression cycle to keep the orifice clear of fluid contaminants and provide smoother operation and reliable performance. Most units also utilize StrongArm's patented temperature compensation module valve which ensures consistent operation even in extreme weather conditions. It does so by compensating for normal gas pressure changes caused by temperature variations. The metallic upper bushing is manufactured with bearing quality precision to provide exact fit with pistion rod and promote a long operating life.

5 out of 5 stars works perfectly   February 21, 2010
Ed mtb (Fort Collins, CO United States)
I got this for my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, and it fit perfect. You only need a screwdriver to pry out a small clip. My hood only wouldn't hold up in cold weather, so I only replaced one strut, and that was plenty.


5 out of 5 stars Just pop them in - Don't know why I waited   February 9, 2010
Dumpsterdigger (Southwest Florida)
This replacement is a no-brainer. The supports went in really easily. The hardest part was figuring out how to release the latches that attaches the support to the hood and chassis. After a minute fiddling with a screwdriver I figured it out then it took only minutes to replace both supports.

You will need a stick (or another person) to hold the hood open while replacing the supports, which in my case was no problem as I had been carrying a stick around for whenever I needed to hold the hood open anyway.



5 out of 5 stars 90 second install -- works like a charm   December 6, 2009
C. Rogers (Seattle, WA)
The other reviews aren't kidding. It takes less than two minutes to swap out your old hood supports with these--all you need is a small flat-head screwdriver. On a Grand Cherokee, just pry up the retaining clips on the old ones and then snap these new ones over the existing ball joints on the vehicle. Done and done!


5 out of 5 stars Hood stays open, like it should.   October 8, 2009

Great product, and great service, my hood now stays open without a stick, which is a pleasure.

product arrived quickly. Was easy to exchange out the old struts. Wish I had done it years ago.
