Review on Front Hood Lift Support Strut Gas Shock Spring: Chevrolet Malibu 2008-2012 Saturn Aura 2008-2009 Sedan by Antonio Bly

It was so easy to install. Simply slide the clip forward to "unlock" the ball joint, then slide down to lock. It's easier if you start at the top and then work down. I wish I had bought this 6 months ago when the hood fell on my hand. Shame on Chevy for redesigning the hood at all. What's up with the metal rod? This has worked in car design for decades, but now we can't take care of it and after a while we have to replace a strut? If your failed hood opener is stiff, buy one and replace it now. It's worth every penny for a good hard.
