• Smooth and effortless lifting

• Safer daily use

Upgrade once, and avoid repeated inconvenience.

How Do I Know If My 4Runner Hood Struts Are Failing?

If you notice any of the following signs, your hood struts likely need replacement:

• The hood slowly drops after opening
• You have to hold the hood manually
• Visible oil leakage on the strut surface

These issues are typically caused by internal gas pressure loss or seal aging over time. If your vehicle shows these symptoms, it’s time to replace your 4runner hood struts with a reliable solution.
