Installation Notes

Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and socket style before installation. Compare the rod and tube connection points to the original unit on the Lexus LS400, and confirm the hood stays fully supported after replacement. If the original support is leaking, weak, or no longer holds pressure, replacement with the correct 4B-258384 unit is the appropriate repair.
