Porsche Hood Struts
Porsche hood struts are hydraulic supports for controlled lifting and secure positioning of the hood. Enhancing user convenience, they replace traditional prop rods, ensuring easy access to the engine compartment. These struts contribute to the sleek design of Porsche vehicles while providing efficient and reliable functionality for the hood.

Easy To Install
Replacing Porsche Hood Struts is a simple DIY task that usually takes about 10 minutes.
- Step 1: Support the hood or front trunk: Have someone hold it fully open, or use a secure prop stick to prevent it from falling.
- Step 2: Remove the old strut: Use a flathead screwdriver to gently lift the small retaining clip, then pull the strut off the ball mount. Repeat for both ends.
- Step 3: Install the new strut: Align the new strut with the ball mounts and push it into place until the clip snaps securely.
- Step 4: Check the direction: Install the new strut in the same direction as the original one. In most applications, the thicker cylinder end faces upward and the thinner rod end points downward.
- Step 5: Replace both sides: Always replace both struts together to keep even pressure and prevent premature wear.
