1998 BMW 318ti Lift Supports

Opening your vehicle’s rear hatch or checking under the hood should not be a serious safety hazard for you, your family or the technician working on your vehicle. Just like tire wear, your hood lift supports lose strength over time. Temperature changes, frequent usage, and driving environments all affect the lift power. StrongArm lift supports are designed for the everyday driver to be installed in minutes with no special tools required.

Product Features:

• Heavy Gauge Steel Body
• Self-Cleaning Piston Assembly
• Rubber O-Ring Piston Seal

Atlas Lift Supports are engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications to ensure your replacement will perform the same or better than your original lift supports. Atlas Lift supports are designed to prevent premature failures, with premium features such as a corrosion-resistant exterior, OE grade end connectors, and Dynamic Dampening Technology. Dynamic Dampening Technology (DDT) is a precision groove engineered into the tube of the lift support, which allows the hatch to open at the optimum speed to prevent “bouncing” or “Jumping” at the end of the stroke. Lift Supports’ performance and longevity are affected by consistent usage, temperature changes, contact with weather elements, pulling or hanging on the part, and can cause unsafe conditions if not changed when signs of failure are present. Atlas Lift Supports are easy to replace and can be changed in minutes No Special Tools Required. Atlas Lift Supports also provide easy to read install for a quick and easy installation.
