hood supports
#2
I got these same ones from them before for like $45. I can see that price went up by much but still cheaper that the dealer which was asking for $180 each. Here is the link Hood Shocks

You can buy replacement ones from Autozone, Advance autoparts, Napa...etc. I got mine from Advance auto parts for ~$18 each with lifetime warranty. The ones on Ebay might be better quality.

I'm tired of using the vise grip to keep my hood open when I'm doing work under the hood. So advance has the cheapest pair eh? Am I getting what I paid for or are they very durable and stronger than my currently weak oem ones? Any warranty included?

If I get a new set of hood struts that will make the third pair for my 95. I'm getting tired of these crappy thing$ failing. I think I'm saving my money and either drilling a hole in the struts rod for a cotter pin or buying a pair of dedicated vice grips.

hood shock length
[QUOTE]Originally posted by Toolrocks
One question. Are the replacement shocks that you bought at Autozone or the other autoparts stores open the hood as far? The original ones I have of course are worn but they also don't open the hood very high to get to the back of the engine. Any ideas for a fix besides just removing them.
