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.

Great product, mediocre instructions January 18, 2010

Although the vehicle finder only listed compatibility with Chevy Suburbans, these supports fit and work perfectly for my 2001 GMC Yukon XL. In my opinion, the shiny metallic shaft actually looks better than the black OEM shaft. The only tool needed is a standard screwdriver.
Instructions could be better. Removal of the old supports and installation of the new ones depends on removal and installation of a pair of metallic retaining clips for each support. The C-shaped clips fit tightly around the cylindrical shaft, and to remove them, they must be pried-off with a screwdriver. Once you've removed the old supports and put on the new ones, new C-clips must be installed. However, these C-clips are tight and stiff, and do not go back on the same way they came off. It took 10-15 minutes of struggling, sweating, swearing and head scratching to figure out that they need to be pressed-on axially at the end of the cylindrical shaft. Even though I figured out how to install the first one, it was not easy to stretch-open the remaining C-clips and press them onto the cylindrical shaft...about 1-2 minutes each for the remaining clips. Admittedly, I'm not a "car guy" and do not even change my own oil, so maybe folks more mechanically inclined would do this better. Still, I'm glad I did it and would definitely do it again.
