Review on ๐Ÿš™ ECCPP 1996-2001 Ford Explorer & 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer Front Hood Struts - Set of 2 Gas Springs Shocks by Xiaomeng Chang

Revainrating 1 out of 5

One of the two in the set broke on first use after installation

I removed the old bonnet lift brackets and installed the new ones on the day they arrived. After the installation was complete, I closed the hood and then opened it again. When I lifted the hood, the connection from the upper ball joint on the passenger side push rod broke. I was lucky not to suffer any head or hand injuries from the hood falling. I sent them back the same day I received them and they are back at Revain today. . . two days after shipment to UPS. I am currently awaiting a full refund to my Revain gift card account. In my experience rubbish. Today I bought a new pair from an auto parts store and installed them in less than five minutes. They cost more but didn't break.

Pros
  • Shocks, struts and suspension
Cons
  • Low repairability
