AMS Automotive 4957 Trunk Lid Lift Support Gas Strut

The AMS Automotive 4957 is a gas-charged trunk lid lift support designed specifically for Oldsmobile applications. This precision-engineered strut provides smooth, reliable support to raise and hold your trunk lid safely in the open position.

Key Features:

• Gas-charged cylinder design stores energy when closed and releases it to assist trunk opening
• Four-position compression and extension testing ensures consistent speed and force performance
• Dual overload testing validates structural integrity and safety standards
• Custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards
• Provides smoother operation and extended service life compared to standard lift supports
• Direct replacement for worn or failed OEM trunk lift supports

Important Installation Note: Lift supports should always be replaced in pairs to ensure balanced, safe operation and reliable support of your trunk lid.

This gas strut works as an energy storage device, compressing gas inside a sealed cylinder. When your trunk is closed, energy is stored under pressure. When you release the latch, this stored energy helps lift the trunk lid and holds it securely open, reducing strain and preventing the lid from falling unexpectedly.
