This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this hood lift support do?
It is a gas-charged strut that counterbalances the hood's weight, raising it smoothly and holding it in the open position so you don't need a prop rod.
Which vehicles does it fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2013 BMW X5 and 2008-2014 BMW X6. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
How do I know my lift support is worn?
A hood that slowly drops, won't stay raised on its own, or needs to be held up manually are common signs the lift support may need replacing.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Many vehicles use a pair of supports. If your vehicle uses two, inspect both sides and replace them together for even, balanced support.
What part numbers does this replace?
