Does anyone know of an aftermarket source for these? Black Dragon dosn't list them. Not sure if Mazda still lists them, but they will likely be a fortune if they did.

Search!

 

The thread talks about Arm Strong struts, they are actually are Strong Arm #4524, which interchanges to a Monroe #901389. They are 95-99 Maxima Hood Struts.

I've got one coming tomorrow for our S5 Vert, let you know how it goes

 

Might be good information to post into the original thread as well. FYI.

 

Got it today and here's the Napa number to add to the list #819-4737. Install will be this weekend, I'll let you know how it goes

 

Looks like I called them Strong Arms in all but one of the post. There is a picture of it so that is pretty idiot proof.

Post that info about the cross reference on the original thread and then vote it a 5 for archiving. Because he should have searched first if he did not find his problem in the Archive.

PS. I like Strong Arm because I think they probally made in South Carolina and not China.
