Installation Notes
Bonnet strut replacement is a straightforward DIY job — typically 15–20 minutes per side with no special tools required. Always have a second person support the bonnet during installation, or use a sturdy prop. Replace both struts as a pair — a new strut paired with a tired one creates uneven loading and shortens the new one's life.
Signs You Need New Struts
- Bonnet drops on its own, won't stay up
- Slow or weak lift when you release the catch
- Worse on cold mornings — gas pressure drops with temperature
- Visible oil residue on the chrome shaft, or hissing when compressed
- Bonnet needs to be propped with a stick or rod

When fitted the top of your bracket bent out at the top had to put ss washers under it to make seat square
Works a dream, very easy to install took about 10 minutes
Got them today so i be fitting them soon
Correct item, quality product, prompt delivery. Easy to fit, only a slight modification required to the engine bay plastic trim to accommodate ball pivot attachment, but it can be easily done with taste. The feel when lifting and lowering the bonnet is one of gentle guidance. I would recommend this product to all 4WD owners, especially those with heavy to lift bonnets or with vertically challenged drivers.
Things work a treat could be more happy
Very easy to fit , no drilling holes. Great addition to car , and makes it very easy to open and close bonnet . Well done nitro lift

Good product, easy fit
One of the first bolt-on components that actually just bolted on. Struts were perfect length and the brackets use the existing holes for the bonnet hinge. It just works
Fast delivery, easy installation
Excellant product easy to fit & works well.
Nice product, smooth lift, nice strong mounts, drivers side needed radiator overflow pipe clip moving which wasn't shown in instructions but over all install was a 15 minute job. Very happy customer. Thank you
The struts were so easy to fit, I would highly recommend your product and company.
Very pleased with the delivery time considering the covid situation. The product looks great, no damage in transit and they will be fitted this afternoon.
Was delivered promptly
Fitted like a glove.
Easy to fit. Makes life a lot easier lifting the bonnet
Fits perfectly without any issues, lifts the bonnet as required without any trouble, only issue I have is the strut not connecting to a central point between the 2 bolts on the bonnet mount leaving the bonnet very unstable. Overall does the job when checking general under bonnet conditions.
Great product. Easy fit.
Very fast seller. Thank you.
No problems
