BMW Hood Lift Support - Lesjofors 8008414

Product Information

Hood lift supports, or gas struts, are pressurized cylinders designed to hold up a car's hood. Over time, they can fail due to a pressure drop, often caused by exposure to extreme temperatures, dust, or contaminants. Cold weather, in particular, can reduce the gas pressure inside the struts, making them less effective at supporting the hood during cooler conditions.

• The hood may feel heavier or fail to stay open as high as before due to a gas leak in the lift support
• Grease or oil leaking from the existing shocks
• Seeping noise or creaks coming from the shocks when lifting the hood or trunk
• Hood or trunk fails to stay open when raised

About Lesjofors

Lesjöfors Automotive knows springs. With over 150 years of experience in the manufacture of springs, Lesjöfors focuses on all aspects of the design and manufacture process including software to simulate spring behavior. Lesjöfors began life in 1675 as an iron mill, just up the road from today's present day modern factory. In 1849, the company began producing wire and wire rope. Three years later the first coil spring was designed and manufactured. All production and development takes place onsite and in Lesjöfors own, modern, and technologically advanced factories, in Sweden. Lesjöfors coil springs are manufactured from high-quality spring steel and are supplied with a three-year warranty.
