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.

What a great service and a great mechanic too! Joseph was on time, knowledgable, and was done even sooner than expected. He's taken care of several items already and I will continue to book for all my auto repairs.

Lexus SC430 V8-4.3L - Other Inspections - Davis, California
I requested service from MyMechanic because one of the employees at the Lexus dealership in Serramonte said that my timing belt, waterpump, and brake fluid all needed to be changed and that it would be dangerous not to do so. When John arrived he did a quick examination of my car and was surprised to learn that it came from the same dealership he used to work at. He was equally surprised that the employee said I needed repairs because apparently the timing belt, water pump, etc. do not need to be changed until at least 90k miles (my car currently has 75-76k miles). He said mechanics will often overcharge for nonexistent problems when they see a "novice," which I totally am when it comes to cars. In the end John only charged me $50 for the diagnostic (as opposed to the $700+ I would've paid for the repairs) and also gave me some helpful pointers about cleaning out the filtration system and testing the shock absorbers. I really appreciate John's honesty and am glad I went with MyMechanic instead of paying the $3,000+ quote the Lexus dealership gave me for the same job. Will definitely recommend these services to family and friends.
