6489 Front Hood Struts Shocks for 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata 4 Door

The AiYiGu Front Engine Hood Struts are an excellent replacement for the old, worn-out hood supports on my 2013 Hyundai Sonata. The installation was straightforward—took me less than 15 minutes to get everything set up. Once installed, the gas springs worked perfectly, and my hood now stays open securely, even with the added weight of the engine components. They’re well-built, durable, and function just like the original struts. If you need a quick fix for your car’s hood, this set is a great option. Pros: Easy to install with no professional help needed. Durable and high-quality construction. Works just like the original parts. Affordable replacement for hood struts. Cons: Not compatible with hybrid models. Requires basic tools for installation.

Work great! The shield that you have to remove will need new screw rivets but the struts work great 👍

Hood struts worked great.

These work perfectly. Great product.

Background story (this review is for hood struts for a Hyundai Sonata): Took my Mercedes in for routine service to a private garage a couple of years ago and noticed that my front hood was no longer holding itself up. Since I was already leaving my car for service, the garage asked if I wanted to have my hood shocks replaced at the same time. Without thinking (I did not bother to ask parts cost or service fee as it was a “impulse buy” and I figured it could not be that expensive, my fault), I had them go ahead and do the replacement. Ended up charging me $72 USD for the parts, with install “free” as a “complimentary” service. Not exactly the same comparison (apples to oranges, or Merc vs Hyundai), but more recently, when the engine hood struts on my Hyundai Sonata went out, I decided to buy the parts and just replace the struts myself (how tough can it be?). Ordered these hood shocks and paid $16.85 (parts, tax and shipping total) and parts arrived in 1 1/2 days via Amazon Prime! Took all of ten minutes to remove old struts and replace with these. Fit was perfect, works very well, and of course, excellent value so far. Even in this cold winter weather, the struts maintain enough pressure to keep the hood up easily and securely, just like when the car was new. I can attest to the somewhat heavy weight of the front engine hood on the Sonata when the old struts lost their seals and I had to lift and hold the hood in place with a stick when checking fluid levels. Basically, these struts, retaining clip design, and construction appear (at least superficially) to be exactly the same as the OEM struts. Again, at this time, they seem to be an excellent value (will see how long and how well the struts continue to successfully hold the hood up in time). Definitely 5 stars (at this time)!

Cheap and easy to install they worked great, really strong

These hood lift supports fit perfectly and were easy to install. They hold the hood up securely and work just like they should. Very happy with this purchase.

The struts worked as expected. Seem to be much stronger than the factory struts, raising the hood quite quickly and holding strong. Good for the price!

the bag inside the package was opened and there is only one piece not two pieces

Le quedó perfecto a mi Hyundai Sonata 2012 2.0 T

Equipped with Hyundai Sonata vehicle The product works well. The head clip part is smaller than Hyundai car products. However, there is no problem with installation and operation. There is no left and right marking.

Perfect fit, easy to install

Excellent
