💪 High-Quality Front Hood Struts for Acura TL 2006-2008 - Gas Prop Shocks (2pcs) Review

Used it on my 2007 Type-s TL. They fit and work well once installed. BUT: The spring clips that attach the struts to the mounting points on the car were poorly installed when the struts were manufactured. One end of each clip was bent inside the end of the three connectors so the rod could not be attached to the attachment point. I had to pull the clips out with needle nose pliers, of course the clips were damaged. Luckily the old clips were reusable and I was able to use them to connect the…

I bought these because I'm planning to sell my 2008 TL and the hood stays were broken so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a replacement. When they arrived I was immediately disappointed with the product and if I had left the car I would have sent them back. The first problem is that the mounting head is screwed on. change racks. The posts are too long and I had to compress them to fit. The retaining clips are almost useless and I wouldn't be surprised if the spacer pops out because the…

Bought for my wife '07 TL. I very rarely open the hood on this car because everything is hidden behind the covers. I let the dealer do everything. However, on a cold and rainy night, my wife called me and said that the car wouldn't start because she hadn't turned on her lights all day. So I took my trusty jumper cables and made my 15-mile trek to her. I opened the hood and started connecting the battery cables, trying to stay dry. The next thing I remember, I saw the stars and my head hurt a…

I have a little used 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD that had a lift strut failure about 6 months ago. I pretty much ignored the situation until I had to start my wife's car (as she was idle so much during our Covid days). I used a brick to hold the hood slightly open to get through the bump, but that was the final straw! I got an offer from a retailer for just under $200 so I looked around and found this product. I'm not an auto repair expert - I can fix an apartment, change a car battery and other small

YEAR 1 UPDATE: Still on! These shocks are absolutely stronger than the original and even a year later when I open the hood I'm amazed at how quickly they lift and hold the hood open. I still highly recommend them. REVIEW: This is a great replacement for stock hood struts. After about 10 years my original ones in my 2008 OEM Acura TL were no longer holding the hood. One day I opened the hood to check my battery and the hood almost fell on my head! INSTALLATION: All you need is a thin flathead…

Update: So you can read my first review below but after checking the product I was immediately contacted by the company who apologized and said, it is not as it should be its product and will send a new device immediately. Received the new devices today and am pleased to see that these items are indeed a great product. I now have perfect seals and lubrication on all four contact points. Also, it's not as rigid anymore, so the hood closes properly when lowered. I'm so glad this company was able…
