Just acquired a '94 GXE and on my list of things to fix is the hood struts, which will now not support the weight of the hood. Since I'd prefer to view or fix the engine while the hood is NOT on my head, I would like to know if i need to buy new struts or if the old ones can be repressurized...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, if I need new struts, what's the cheapest out there??? I'm looking at these...http://catalog.auto-parts-wholesale....1994&x=79&y=10

 

I'm surprised no one's mentioned me yet.
You do need new hood struts. $50 a pair shipped to your door

 

what's included? the crappy ones i got are going bad.

 

2 hood struts with attaching hardware.
I've sold 3 sets to other org members so far
No complaints

 

oh so it comes with the brackets that bolts to the hood?

 

I got hood struts at pep boys (or autozone, can't remember) for 21.99 a piece.

 

I'm surprised, too.

 

The metal bracket itself is transfer over (very easy to do)
Because otherwise they'd have to go sided
these install fairly easily IMHO, Just follow the included directions.

 

I got mine from the local advance auto parts a while back with the brackets already on for like $50 or so...probably a little more plus tax.

I say support our fellow orgers here though and get them from Internetautomar. I only mention the one with brackets for those that dont have a drill to get the bracket off of the old struts.

 

Sounds good. I'll be contacting you shortly... (with money)

 

Internetautomar sells them

 

Sounds good to me 2

 

oh yeah brian thanks for gettin the struts to bob easy to install. .....did he tell you about the fact that he left one of hte injectors in his pocket so he had to ship that one to me ?eperate lol

 

Glad to hear you got everything alright.
You didn't document the hood prop install did you?

 

no i didnt it was farily easy job injectors on the other hand i would like to see a write up i paid a mechanic 100 bucks to do it but I wont get to see him do it if i ever have to do it again.

 

check the stickies. there is a write up there

 

Yeah... heaven KNOWS I put one up there.

 

I'll be contacting you about some new struts shortly too...
Do we need a write-up on replacing them? I'd be willing to take some pics as I went along when I installed them...
