Hood Struts.....FTW!

[what9612]

I just installed my hood lift struts and they are so much better than using that stupid hood prop. install time was about a 45mins with having no clue what todo and finding all tools, so it prolly could be done faster.

No, leave them alone. I have a few members in my local club that have ZERO problems but a 2 or 3 that have had the ball start to rust. I want a set too.

Looks like they are on upside down.
The rod end should be on bottom to be kept properly lubed I think.

Correct.

I have the Redline Eleite's. They are MUCH better than the prop rod!
