Or hood struts.

I noticed my hood is beginning to come down by itself on cold days. A new set from Nissan is like over $160.

Where can I get a quality set for a good price?

Thanks

 

autozone for about $30 a piece.

 

or both for $40-50 on ebay. or just use a stick to prop it up like 80% of us here...

 

I called around about 2 weeks ago when I wanted em. AutoZone wanted like $40 each and did not stock the parts.

I ended up getting em at Advance Auto for $28 each with lifetime but thats a shop price, normal price at Advance was like $39.99

One of the dealerships here (Mid City Nissan) wanted $225 each for the hood struts!!! they do last 10+ years though, so its quality for sure.

thats highway robbery you canscrape up a few more dollars and buy a donar car and have a ton of spare parts lol. i worked for Ford for 15 years even lincolns werent that much for a pair.wow thats just nuts

 

you know, mine have been "starting to fail" for about 6-7 years. i've been waiting for them to completely fail so i can replace them. i just don't feel like spending $50 on them if i don't need to.

to be honest, i'll never work under a hood again without something extra propping up the hood. even if they were brand spanking new, i wouldn't trust them. you learn that lesson when you're working on your car at 3am and it falls on your head

 

A few years ago I found a pair for $20 + shipping, and it ended up < $30. However they did not come with the part which actually attaches to the hood, so I ended up having to grind out the old stamped bolt and install the new ones with some hand-picked parts. I also had to fiddle with the bottom part, but dont remember what was going on there exactly.

So just make sure you know what you're getting, and if you pay $30-$40 for each that they have everything you need to just bolt on and go.

 

I'll sell you a pair for $20 + shipping

mmm hmm u don't have to explain what person you become on the weekends.

 

lmao... its ok gapboi, we all do it.

 

LOL

 

Let me know if your going to perform @ Hydrate. I'll stop by next time i am in Chitown and I'll make sure I have singles on me. :X

 

mine went from sturdy to falling on my head in the course of like... 5 months

 

I'll take them if Tom doesn't want them.

 

Go ahead. I already went to eBay.

 

Just look on ebay thats where I just bought some for like $40 and they are really easy to put on

 

I got mine at napa for $20

 

Do all Napas have the same pricing? cuz I went to one here in chicago and they wanted like 65 bucks about a year ago...

 

I like my 2x4 it works regardless of outside temp. Maybe when I get the car painted, I will have them paint the 2x4 to match LOL.

 

Should have "MAXIMA" carved into it as well and when you paint it just paint the letters metallic

 

hmmmm and then I will put a rusted hinge on the board and screw it to the hood with the screws coming through.

 

I have a friend that manages the napa that I went to and I only needed one.

 

i bought two for $19.44 each at AutoZone 3 days ago.
lifetime warranty....

 

Can you tell me the relevance of this purchase to us in here?

 

well the original question was where to get them at a better price and I think Rock was verifying where to get them cheaper.

 

He has a 4th gen maxima,they are different,and cheaper..

 

my mistake

 

oh yeah get outta here w/ your 4th gen. ha ha jk
