Hood Gas Struts (Hydraulic) – Bonnet Lift Supports

Hydraulic hood struts make opening and holding the bonnet effortless and safe. They replace worn or broken prop rods and provide controlled lift and damping. This category includes gas struts in various lengths and force ratings to suit different bonnet sizes and hinge geometries.

Advantages of gas struts

Gas struts offer smooth operation, better under-hood access and reduced risk of the bonnet accidentally closing. Correctly matched struts maintain the bonnet at the intended open angle and improve convenience for maintenance tasks.

How to choose the right strut

• Force rating: choose struts rated to support the bonnet weight safely.
• Length and stroke: measure extended and compressed lengths for correct fit.
• Mounting style: ball-socket, eyelet or bracket types must suit your vehicle's fittings.
• Durability: corrosion-resistant rods and seals extend service life.
• Installation kits: brackets and hardware simplify fitting and alignment.

Refurbished struts may be available but check for consistent pressure and smooth travel before fitting. Proper selection and installation restore safe, reliable bonnet support for routine maintenance and enhance everyday usability.
