Keep your hood raised and out of the way during checks and service with the Tuff Support Hood Lift Support, part number 612170. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed application, the 2016-2018 Cadillac CT6, all engines.
A hood lift support helps raise the hood and hold it open, so you can work in the engine bay without holding the hood up by hand. Over time a support can lose its ability to carry the hood's weight. If a worn support is why your hood creeps down or won't stay up, this part replaces it.
Because the 2016-2018 Cadillac CT6 uses two supports, we recommend replacing both at the same time so they share the hood's weight evenly. Signs that a hood lift support may need replacing include a hood that slowly drifts down, a hood that drops without warning, or a hood that has to be held or propped by hand to stay open.
