Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle year, model, and position before installation. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end connections to the original support to confirm proper replacement. For best results, replace supports in matched applications when the vehicle uses more than one hood lift support and inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before snapping the new unit into place.
