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.

Mazda 5 L4-2.3L - Stabilizer Bar Bushings Replacement (Front, Rear) - Roswell, Georgia
My experience with YourMechanic was great ! I will definitely be using them again in the future for auto maintenance on our vehicles. David was also awesome ! He was very knowledgeable and did a great job replacing the front and rear stabilizer bar bushings on our 2009 Mazda 5. He also took the time to identify some other potential issues that I will need to get addressed in the future. I highly recommend YourMechanic and David to my friends and neighbors. I love the convenience of their mobile service. I was able to watch the Alabama and Georgia Spring Football games at home while David worked on our vehicle. Thanks for the great service !

Mazda 5 L4-2.3L - Car is not starting - Austin, Texas
Nathan was on time, friendly, professional and explained just what was going on with my car. I scheduled a diagnostic because my car wouldn't start and it turns out it was a weak battery and alternator. He got me up and running so I could schedule a new alternator installation in the very near future.
