Hold your hood up and steady with the Focus Auto Parts Hood Lift Support 86328, a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2008 Nissan Murano. When an original support wears out, the hood can drift or drop after you raise it; this lift support takes over the job of holding the hood in the open position so you can work under it hands-free.
- Holds the hood open: extends to keep the raised hood steady so it won't sag or fall while you service the engine bay, and dampens the hood's motion as it opens.
- Supports the hood hands-free: takes the place of a worn original that can no longer hold the hood up on its own.
- Direct-fit replacement: designed to install in place of the original lift support on the listed application.
Signs this part may need replacing include a hood that no longer stays up on its own, slowly drifts down, or feels weak when raised. If a worn lift support is the cause, this replaces it. Lift supports commonly work in pairs — if the other side is original, consider replacing both together for balanced, even support.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number 86328.
