Universal 10 Inch 40Lbs Gas Spring Pair

This set includes two black gas struts designed to lift and hold hoods, hatches or covers on cars, boats, RVs and buses. Each strut delivers 40Lbs of force to support medium to heavy panels for hands-free access during maintenance or loading. The metal construction is built for repeated cycling in automotive and marine environments. Installation uses basic hand tools and the included hardware.

10mm Ball-Socket Mounting Limits

The struts connect via 10mm diameter ball sockets on a 6mm rod, so the mounting points on your vehicle must accept this specific stud size. The housing measures 15mm in diameter, which determines the clearance needed around each bracket. Because the force is fixed at 178N per unit, the strut cannot be adjusted for lighter or heavier panels. The 10.63 inch total length and 6.42 inch compressed length define the absolute travel range.

Check Mount Geometry and Panel Weight

Verify that your application uses 10mm ball-stud brackets and that the distance between mounting centres matches the 10 inch extended and 6.42 inch compressed dimensions. Confirm the panel weight falls within the 40Lbs per strut rating so the lid stays open without drifting or slamming. Ensure there is enough space for the 15mm housing and 3.54 inch rod travel without interference from surrounding components.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 10-inch 40Lbs pair or look for a different length or pressure?

Choose this 10-inch, 40Lbs pair when your hatch or hood needs 178N per strut and the mounting points sit 25.4cm apart fully open and 16.3cm closed; verify those two dimensions against your vehicle before ordering.

What does the 40Lbs rating actually do when the strut is mounted on my car?

Each strut supplies 178N of constant push, so the pair shares the load and holds a medium-weight hood, tailgate or boat hatch open without props or latches once the rod extends to 25.4cm.

The 10mm ball-socket holes — what hinge bolts or brackets do they accept?

The 10mm holes fit standard M8 or 5/16-inch ball studs used on most automotive hood, trunk and RV compartment hinges; the 15mm body and 6mm rod clear typical bracket widths.
