Keep your hood raised and steady when you're working under it with the Tuff Support Hood Lift Support 614074. This lift support installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2017 Audi A8 Quattro and the 2013-2017 Audi S8, taking over for a worn original that no longer holds the hood up.
- Holds the hood open: Supports the weight of the raised hood and helps keep it in the up position for hands-free access to the engine bay.
- Controlled motion: Designed to raise the hood smoothly and cushion its travel, so it doesn't drop or require a manual prop.
- Application-specific fit: A direct-fit replacement for the listed Audi applications.
Over time a lift support weakens and struggles to hold the hood — signs it may need replacing include a hood that drifts down on its own, feels heavy or slow to lift, or won't stay up without support. If a failed lift support is the cause, this unit replaces it. Many hoods use a support on each side, so inspect both and replace as directed by your vehicle's service information.
Manufacturer part number 614074.
