GM DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE HOOD STRUTS. FOR $250, THEY WOULD DO IT. SINCE I JUST SPENT A FORTUNE ON A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT 8k, I WAS LOOKING TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS. ORDERED THESE STRUTS FOR $21. USING A VERY SMALL FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER, I PRYED AND REMOVED THE HOLDING CLIPS AND EASILY REMOVED THE STRUT. THE NEW STRUT EASILY JUST SNAPPED INTO PLACE. LESS THAN 5 MINUTES PER STRUT. THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS OUT THERE FOR DOING THIS. THE NEW STRUTS WORK FANTASTIC. I POP THE HOOD AND RAISE IT ABOUT A FOOT UP AND THE STRUTS TAKE IT FROM THERE AND FULLY OPEN THE HOOD! AWESOME!!

OK

I watched several YouTube videos on replacing these struts. Believe me, it's much easier than they make out. All you need to do is insert a small flat-headed screwdriver under the small spring steel strap on the installed strut and pry it off (a pair of pliers is helpful for removing the strap). Once it's removed, just lift the end of the strut off the round ball joint. Do the same for the other end and "Taa-daa", you're almost done. The new unit really just snaps into place. One of the YouTube vids showed a guy straining to 'half-remove' the springs on the replacement part. Don't bother. They snap into place effortlessly. Tug on it to be sure but, they go on without any problems. This item comes with replacement ball joints in two different sizes. I didn't need them. If yours are rusted out though, it's a nice thought (especially on a $28 part). One final observation: Most of the the 15-minutes I spent on this job was finding a prop to hold my hood in the fully upright position. The shafts on these struts come fully extended so, your hood has to be fully upright when you install them. My carport isn't tall enough to accommodate that so I had to pull out of the carport. I've heard rumors that the original struts only last a couple of years or so. Even if that's true, they're so inexpensive and so easy to replace that, I'll deal with it.

Pretty sure the item will work, good price too.

Excellent product

GREAT PRODUCT

These were an exact fit for my Hummer H3. After removing the old, worn-out struts these were a cinch to install and took less than 5 minutes. Work great and my engine hood works like new. They even came with the ball mounts in case those needed to be replaced as well. Good product!

When opened the hood raises up plenty for better under the hood work.
