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.

Kia Sorento L4-2.4L - Ball Joint Front Replacement (Lower Right) - Kenilworth, New Jersey
My sons car needed a lower ball joint replaced and going to the stealership for something simple like this was not a option. I had to go out of town but wanted to get this repaired before damage was done to the control arm. I left my wife to deal with the appointment. After speaking with my wife she was very impressed with Mr. Paniti. He inspected the control arm and made sure it was in good condition for the ball joint and did not try to make unnecessary repairs or recommendations. This is something that is rare these days in the auto service industry. Mr. Paniti worked efficiently and with with ease of a seasoned professional mechanic. I can say with 100% certainty we will be using Mr. Paniti for future services. If your looking for a a honest and professional mechanic Mr. Paniti is your man!
