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.
