Hood strut replacement
#46
So mine just went out again....
Anyone have any problems with:
Amazon Strong Arm or Mighty Lift from Autozone?
Mighty Lift Amazon is 23.99 for a pack of 2.
Amazon Strongarm is 16.44 + free shipping (EACH)
Not tryna pay 100+ for OEM shocks.

i installed strongarms without too many problems. Have some mechanism for holding up your hood.
Be sure to have proper wrench set so you can remove your old bolt-in studs. I didn't have fancy racheting wrenches, so took me a bit longer with a small monkey wrench to get the old out.
Lineup the old before installing.
The only other note in my install, if I remember is the heads are thread-on screws, so they don't just spin freely. So if you end up needing to rotate a head 90degrees, but the sucker isn't turning; unscrew it 270 the other way instead.

Strong Arms are what I put at over 1 year plus ago and going strong. No regrets.
