🚗 QiMox Front Hood Struts Lift Supports Shocks Compatible with Toyota Solara 2004-2008 | Qty (1) 6466, 53440AA030 Review

They fit perfectly and easily follow clear instructions. The problem is they are WAY too strong...obviously not calibrated to OEM spec. It takes tremendous force to close the hood of an SUV and my mechanic said I risk bending the hood from too much force. I will remove them and cover the cost of the exact OEM product.

My Toyota dealer wanted $130 plus labor for this part. It took me 15 minutes to remove the worn part and install this one. (Watch the YouTube video.) If I can do it, so can you. Save some money and get this part. I can't predict how long this one will last. I don't check the engine bay often and bought this car used, but the part I removed was an OEM.

Similar in appearance to the original except the wing tip is different. It looks much smaller and seems to lack a plastic body. This part is unbolted so I figured I could just use the old one, but I couldn't unbolt the old one (I'm not even sure about unbolting the factory parts). There is a metal clip on the problematic end that the nut had to remove (slide up). But I made it so that the bullet had an unobstructed path to enter the socket. Outlet is not the correct size (too small). So back to
