What does a hood lift support do?
It is a gas-charged, hydraulically dampened strut that raises and holds the hood open, providing smooth, controlled motion during opening and closing.
How do I know my hood lift support is failing?
Common signs include a hood that no longer stays up, drifts down, or feels weak, often from a lost gas charge. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing them in pairs so both sides provide even, consistent support.
Are any special tools required to install it?
No. This lift support is designed for easy installation and requires no special tools. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
