Help keep your hood held open while you check fluids or work in the engine bay with the Focus Auto Parts Hood Lift Support 86598. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, the 2003-2006 and 2008-2012 Porsche Cayenne with all engines.
A hood lift support connects the hood to the body. It helps you raise the hood and holds it in the open position. As a support wears, the hood may take more effort to lift, may not stay fully open, or may drift down on its own. If a worn lift support is causing these symptoms, this part replaces it.
Before you remove a support, prop the hood securely. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct removal and installation steps. Country of origin: China.
