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.

BMW 435i Gran Coupe L6-3.0L Turbo - Oil Change - San Jose, California
Jason is the best mechanic I have ever worked with. He is very personable. I offered him pancakes but he declined. I hope he knows he is really appreciated and I will contact him in the future to do more work. I texted him on his cell but he didn’t answer. Which is good Because he was driving to see me I guess and now I know he doesn’t text and drive. People don’t realize how important it is to focus on the task at hand aka driving and not get distracted. Thanks, You’re my mechanic now Jason. Good luck

I had a great exerprience with Osvaldo repairing my vehicle. This is the second time I had requested him. He continued to be professional and he provide great customer service skills. He communicates on what he is repairing on your vehicle and he shows you the old parts once he is finished.
