What It Helps Address

• Weak hood support that no longer holds the hood in the raised position
• Slow or uneven hood opening on Land Rover LR3, LR4, and Range Rover Sport models
• Loss of lift force from a worn hood strut
• Need for a direct replacement matched to the original support dimensions
• Difficulty keeping the hood open during underhood inspection or service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and hood support position before installation. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the removed support to confirm the correct replacement. For best results, replace the support when the hood is fully secured and follow the vehicle service procedure for removal and installation.
