What is a Support Strut?
If you have ever had the opportunity to open the hood or rear hatch of a car from the 1990's, you will likely notice that each side of the hood & hatch has a "strut" or "support" that holds it up.  Inside these Lift Supports is a pressurized gas that is constantly pushing outward.  Over time, they lose their pressure and their ability to hold up weight.  This is where 1AAuto.com comes in to save the day!

How do I know if my Hood or Hatch Support Strut is broken?
If your hood or hatchback uses these Lift Struts to hold it up, and they can no longer support the weight, then they need to be replaced.  Save yourself the headache (literally), and replace them sooner than later!

Can I replace a Hood or Hatch Support Strut myself?
Yes, you certainly can.  These are quite easy to replace on most vehicles. Typically there is a torx-style bolt holding them to the body of the vehicle and a ball-socket on the opposite end.  The socket usually has a metal clip that easily pops off with a flat screwdriver, releasing the Hood / Hatch Support form it's grip.
