This part number 8088300 is built as a specific application component, helping restore the hood’s lift and hold-open action when the original support has lost pressure or no longer stays in position.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year and model before installation. Replace the support only on the confirmed Subaru Forester or Subaru Impreza application listed above, and inspect the hood mounting points for wear, corrosion, or damage before fitting the new support. After installation, cycle the hood several times to confirm smooth operation and secure hold-open performance.
