Keep the hood up and your hands free with the Tuff Support Hood Lift Support 612801. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1990 Acura Legend, taking over the job of holding the hood open safely so it doesn't drift or drop while you work.
- Holds the hood open: supports the weight of the raised hood and keeps it steady in the open position.
- Controlled motion: designed to raise the hood smoothly and hold it without a prop rod.
- Direct-fit replacement: installs in place of the worn original on the listed application.
Over time a lift support loses its charge and can no longer hold the hood up. Signs this part may need replacing include a hood that slowly sags after being raised, one that won't stay open on its own, or a support that feels weak when you lift the hood. If a failed lift support is the cause, this unit replaces it. Lift supports are commonly installed in pairs; if the vehicle uses two, replace both together so they hold evenly.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number 612801.
