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.

Hello so I’ve taken my vehicle to my local dealership who could not do anything but believes my transmission is going out due to my car shaking. However, I’ve had the car brand new for 6 years now and it has always done this. I own a 2015 Chevy Malibu Ltz turbo and I’ve been on top of my maintenance very well. I recently replaced the battery last year but I have not gotten a transmission flush because the dealership recommended I not and my spark plugs nor coil pack have ever been replaced and I’m at 107-108k miles. My car does not just shut down once I reach a certain speed, while on the interstate yesterday I was just fine but on my way home from work going through town in a stop start environment the signal came back on and my car started shaking and the stabilitrak came back on and my car did not want to go past 40 but eventually did and then was fine until the next stop light. Would this be my spark plugs and coil pack or would this be a whole new transmission?

I have a 2002 Ford Fairmont Ghia V6 4.0L. I’ve recently purchased it second hand and for the first few days nothing was wrong! but I’ve had it a few weeks now and a loud squeaking noise is coming from the rear end when I’m going over bumps or even just getting out of the car!
