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.

Toyota Prius V L4-1.8L Hybrid - Oil Change - San Francisco, California
James became my very 1st mechanic on Yourmechanic, and kindly called me the day before to confirm the appointment. On the day of, the car he was working on before mine, had major problems that delayed my appointment so I was initially worried. What made up for the hiccups was how well James communicated with me and kept me in the loop. We pushed back my appointment for later that day, but when he arrived, he was quick and efficient. I also had a chance to ask all the questions I had about my car and basically got mechanic 101 from James. He was very knowledgeable, skilled, and was prepared with all the necessary tools. He even went out of his way to do a quick inspection on my other vehicle since I had asked about future repairs. Overall, I felt I got a tremendous amount of value and service from James and the Yourmechanic team. I'm hooked and started telling my friends right away. I'll definitely use the service again.
