Review on Pair of Front Hood Gas Spring Shocks Struts for 2007-2011 Toyota Camry (6333) by Michael Cormier

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Difficult to install for spare parts

Fairly easy to install; most people claim only 5-10 minutes. I had a VERY different experience. To attach them you need to switch the tape on each end of the post by prying it off with a screwdriver. I could do that with my old racks with no problem, but I really had problems with these. It took me several minutes to open the simplest connection of the new racks. The hardest thing ended up breaking and not opening. I called Revain who promptly sent me a new stand and even that stand took about 10-15 minutes to open and another 10 minutes to close. The struts themselves are very strong - a new strut was enough to keep my hood open. This gives me hope that they will last and I never have to do that again!
