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.

Toyota Previa L4-2.4L Turbo - Oil Change - Sacramento, California
Nick was very professional and did the oil change and a tire rotation. He took a look at the brakes, tires and fluids. I really feel he went the extra mile. He also pointed out things we need to keep an eye on, where as another mechanic probably would of said this or that needs fixed now. Many times in a shop one person takes and gives all the information regarding your vehicle, so it was good being able to ask Nick questions. He was a very friendly guy with lots of experience. I would definitely recommend and if a we need further service will give Your Mechanic a call.

Toyota Previa L4-2.4L - Car is not starting - San Jose, California
Whitney arrived within the promissed time window, after asking some questions about my car's problem went about searching and diagnosing . He found the cause, explained it to me clearly and solved the problem. I was impressed with his skill plus how meticulously reconnected all the disconnected parts and leaving the car and the place clean. He is a true Master Mechanic.
