Front Hood Lift Support Struts Shocks 6452 Compatible with 2005-2012 Avalon 3.5L 3456CC V6 Hood Lift Support Gas Spring Prop Rod, 2Pack

Installed on a 2007 Toyota Avalon with worn out actuators. Install was a breeze. They’ve been in service for over a year, no issues.

Took about 10 minutes to remove my old hood struts and install these.

Easy to install and excellent compatibility, and soo far they work great, seems to be a great value.

Easy to installed and works great. We’ll have to see how long they last, that will be the true test.

Supports work well, but one at times comes off the hood connector. Maybe it is more the car connector vs. the shock.

OEM Struts just went out after 16 years. These aftermarket struts seem to be strong and fairly price , but not sure how long will last.

Arrived fast. Easy to install. Save yourself the trouble of trying to hold the hood up with your head while checking the oil. Well worth it.

Finally broke down and decided to fix the hood struts on our 2005 Toyota Avalon. The dealership wanted a little over $400 to install new ones & Auto store $150 for parts only. Consulted YouTube videos and decided to give it a try and install them ourselves. The installation was simple but it took some work to pry the new clips open a bit to slide over the ball. From beginning to end it took less than 30 minutes. That included a little first aid (cut my finger), finding a flashlight and adding lube to ball & joint. Saved $375 can’t beat that! Going out to celebrate!

Almost 2 months now and they are still working
