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.

Chevrolet S10 V6-4.3L - Wipers are not working - Folsom, California
Jeff came out in pouring rain and he knew the truck was outside. I thought I had a burned out wind shield wiper motor. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed them, saving me what I thought would be expensive. I highly recommend him. He is a true pro.

I swapped car with my daughter to put new winter tires on hers (I always use steel spiked winter tires here in Sweden). It is a 2011- Seat Leon with 155 000 km on the odometer (about 9700 sm).The tires, Good Year Ultra Grip, I put on have in reviews received good grades on noise, but I feel that I hear a rumbling noise that I do not recognize even though these types of tires always produce more noise than summer tires which it had when I last drove it.Putting my finger on the wheel hubs outside of the brake disks, the left hub is lukewarm but the right one is cold, this after an hour drive on the motorway in -7 degrees C.I just replaced the rear wheelbearings on my Volvo V70, but it had more than twice the distance on the odo. That hub was hot after driving it and some noise.On the V70 my reasoning was that if one was warn out, the other one would not last much longer so I changed the both of them.Can I be sure that this really is a faultering bearing on the Seat? In that case chances are that it is a premature failure or? and in that case I need to change only the left one?I do all this myself in my garage, therefor I don´t want to go to the dealership to pay for the diagnosis and then decline having them do the job.How can I be sure I take the right decision?
