Detailed Description

This hood lift support is specified for Audi Q5 and Audi SQ5 vehicles in the listed model years. Use it when the original hood support no longer holds the hood securely or has lost consistent lift performance. Tuff Support 613914 is intended for direct replacement on the covered applications and is identified for fitment by vehicle year, model, and body code where noted.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Hood drops after being raised
• Weak or inconsistent hood support
• Difficulty keeping the hood open during service
• Worn gas strut performance on Audi Q5 or Audi SQ5 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year and model before ordering. Confirm the body code 8R on Audi Q5 applications and compare the existing support length and end fittings to the original part. Replace the support when hood lift force has diminished or the hood no longer stays open reliably.

Quality Assurance

Tuff Support is owned by ISC Industries, a lift support manufacturer based in Turkey. Part number 613914 is cataloged for the listed Audi applications and built to match the specified vehicle fitment.
