Hood Struts
Hood Struts, often referred to as hood shocks or hydraulic hood lifts, are essential automotive components designed to simplify one of the most common vehicle maintenance tasks - propping up the hood. These ingenious devices replace the traditional prop rod and provide a hands-free solution for holding your vehicle's hood securely in the open position. Hood struts consist of a pair of gas-charged cylinders that attach to the hood and the body of the vehicle. When the hood is opened, these struts automatically take over, lifting and holding the hood open, making it easier and safer to access the engine bay.

Selecting the correct Hood Struts for your vehicle involves a few key considerations. First, consider your vehicle's make and model, as well as the year. Hood strut designs can vary significantly between different vehicles. Additionally, look at the weight and size of your hood since struts come in different load-carrying capacities. It's essential to choose hood struts that are capable of supporting the weight of your hood to ensure they function correctly and provide reliable support. Finally, consider the ease of installation and the materials used in the struts to ensure they are durable and long-lasting.
