What are the Hood Lift Support Shocks all about?

Hood lift support shocks are energy storage devices that work by means of compressing gas in a cylinder. When they’re closed, energy is stored, and when they’re opened, energy is released. You might think of them as shock absorbers or struts, but this is erroneous. Shocks absorb energy and do not release it.

Almost all vehicles use pneumatic struts to hold up the hood. They’re filled with inert gas that hold structures open. The lift supports store the energy when closed, and when they open, the energy is released. If the hood lift supports are weak or leaking, the hood may slowly close when opened or may slam down unexpectedly.

Keep in mind:

  • Any hood lift support will eventually fail.
  • Hood lift supports will operate more efficiently in warm temperatures than in cold ones.
  • Frequent use can cause failure of a hood lift support.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle's hood is opened and supported manually
  • The defective hood lift support shocks are removed
  • The new hood lift support shocks are installed
  • The hood manual support is removed
  • The repair is verified and the hood lift support shocks are tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

You can extend the life of your hood lift shocks just by keeping them clean. Dirt and debris on the cylinder arm can nick the seal, causing a leak. If you’re experiencing problems with your hood lift support shocks, have one of our expert mechanics replace them.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Hood Lift Support Shocks?

  • Hood slams down unexpectedly
  • Hood slowly lowers when lifted

How important is this service?

It’s very important that your hood lift support shocks work properly as you don’t want to have your vehicle’s hood come crashing down on you. This is a problem that has happened to more backyard mechanics than we could recall. Have weak or failed hood lift support shocks replaced as soon as you can.

I had a great exerprience with Osvaldo repairing my vehicle. This is the second time I had requested him. He continued to be professional and he provide great customer service skills. He communicates on what he is repairing on your vehicle and he shows you the old parts once he is finished.

Can an electric fuel injected engine like my Toyota Tundra backfire while driving?

Hey there, thanks for your question. I'd be happy to provide insight. While this is possible, it is probably not likely to happen with your 2014 Toyota Tundra. An engine backfire (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/what-causes-a-car-to-backfire) is typically caused by a spark plug, or...

Power steering not working even though leak is fixed

I replaced the oil pan gasket, valve cover casked on passenger side and both motor mounts on my 2007 [escalade esv](/topics-escalade-esv/) and now it won't start. Verified starter is good but car does nothing when turning ignition. It only has limited functionality when ignition is turned to power accessory on. Dash lights up but doesn't read gas level and shift/gear indicator not on. Radio, cigarette lighter, low beam headlights and climate control work but nothing else. Battery charged up (12.5V) and been on trickle charger. Seem that one of the control modules is not working properly. Hope I didn't smash the wiring harness from [engine](/topics-engine-cadillac/) to transmission when I lifted the engine with the hoist to change the motor mounts!
