Keep the hood raised and steady with the Tuff Support Hood Lift Support 612218, a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2015 Ford Taurus (all engines). This gas-charged strut takes over the job of holding your hood up so it stays open on its own while you work in the engine bay.
- Holds the hood open: supports the weight of the raised hood and keeps it steady for hands-free access.
- Signs it may need replacing: a hood that slowly sinks, won't stay up, or has to be propped up often are common signs a lift support has lost gas pressure.
- Direct-fit replacement: designed for the listed Ford Taurus applications.
These vehicles use two hood lift supports (one per side). This listing is for a single support, so order two to replace both at once. Replacing both sides together is the best practice, since a support that's already weak on one side is usually not far behind on the other.
Fitment: 2010-2015 Ford Taurus [All].
Manufacturer part number 612218.
