Product Details

The J.C. Whitney JB131106 is an OEM-replacement hood lift support (gas strut) designed for the BMW 3-Series E46 platform. This gas-charged hood strut restores proper lifting force to keep the hood securely open during engine bay access, replacing worn or failed original equipment that may cause the hood to drop, sag, or feel heavy.

This lift support is a direct bolt-in replacement for BMW OEM part number 51238202688 and is also cross-referenced with part numbers SG402048, 1381MF, 6533, and GS0262. The left-hand and right-hand positions use the same part (RH=LH), simplifying ordering. Installation is straightforward, snapping onto the existing ball-mount hardware with no cutting, drilling, or modification required.

Key Features:

  • Direct OEM replacement for BMW part number 51238202688
  • Gas-charged strut design provides controlled, smooth hood lifting and stable support
  • Symmetrical design — same part fits both left and right sides (RH=LH)
  • Installs to original mounting points with no modification required
  • Restores safe, reliable hood operation for engine bay access
  • Cross-references: SG402048, 1381MF, 6533, 8008409, 8194131, GS0262

This hood lift support is sold as a single unit. For complete restoration of hood support function, two units are required — one per side.

Easy to look up and order

Great service quick delivery

The only issue was the shipping straps on both shocks were broken on one end only! Made it more difficult to install! But for the price I can't complain much! Thanks

Still in the process

So far so good...

Shipping was fast and efficient! Very happy that the fuel pump I ordered was available and arrived in perfect condition. This was a quality fuel pump that was difficult to find and was very pleased with the procurement of my order. I will use THMotorsports again! Thank you.
