Tuff Support specializes in high-quality gas springs and lift supports for automotive applications. Their products are engineered to meet strict OEM specifications and undergo rigorous testing to ensure reliable performance. When factory hood struts lose their charge over time, they can make opening and closing the hood difficult and potentially unsafe. This replacement strut restores proper function and safely supports the weight of your hood panel.

Important Installation Note: Hood lift supports should always be replaced in pairs to ensure balanced operation and prevent premature failure of the new strut. Installing only one side can cause uneven loading and accelerated wear.
