Detailed Description

Lesjofors part number 8041401 is a hood lift support for Jaguar XJ40 platform vehicles, including the Jaguar XJ6 and Jaguar XJ12. As a specific-fit component, it is matched to the listed vehicle applications rather than a universal design, helping maintain proper hood support and consistent operation. Lesjofors has a long manufacturing history dating back to 1675, and this lift support is positioned as an OE-quality replacement for routine service on these Jaguar models. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., BBC2856, BBC13515) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

Verify the vehicle year, model, and Type XJ40 application before installation. Compare the existing support length, end fittings, and mounting points to confirm match with part number 8041401. After installation, open and close the hood several times to confirm smooth movement and secure hold-up.
