Hood Shocks/Supports

Just bought a pair of these a couple of weeks ago after the oem stopped supporting the hood. After lifting the hood past halfway up the shocks bring it up the rest of the way and hold the hood up tight. Extremely easy to install.


StrongArm for 29 bucks 35.00 shipped from Amazon.

That's a good deal on the pair. I need to get a set for my car as well since mine totally stopped holding the hood up once the weather turned cold.

They spring up as you are lifting the hood up. No more crashing down and finding things in my garage to keep the hood up. And if you need more room you can unclip them and bring the hood even further back.

I got the same set earlier this year & they're still holding up strong. Best replacement ever!

Read a lot of great reviews on the Strongarm also checked out the Monroe hood shocks, for ten dollars more not looking back on this purchase.


BTW. I shop at rockauto.com got fridge magnets to prove it
