Fast delivery and was a perfect fit for my lexus gs350

Exact fit for 06’ GS300 Lexus. Holds the hood up perfectly nomore hood slamming down on my head haha or using a home made hood stick.Long overdue and price reasonable. Part was super easy to install, take a flat head use leverage or a set of pliers around the old part and leverage it to pop out. Clean off the ball joint (part of the car) with some stainless steel mesh before popping the new struts on!

Watched a Youtube vid where on the old one you just use a small flathead to pop the clip off from the top and the bottom to remove it. Then, you just snap on the new one and it's done. Both literally took me 10 mins

I brought my car into the mechanic for servicing and he mentioned to me that the hood struts no longer hold up the hood when it is lifted. Sure enough, it stayed up for about five minutes and then started to shut.I found these struts on Amazon here, and after reading the reviews, I ordered a set. Compared to the OEM units from Lexus, these were a bargain. Despite an estimated delivery date about 10 days out, I was surprised to receive them in half that time.The struts were individually wrapped in a sealed plastic bag, and protected by a bubble wrap. Installation was very easy. Prior to the install, I watched several online videos and it seemed like an easy job. I did note that there were several videos online that didn't do the removal correctly. Some of them just used a large flat head screwdriver and pried them loose from the ball socket. I found a video (including one here on Amazon) that showed you are supposed to use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the clip on the strut loose first. Once you do that, you can use hand force to remove the strut from the ball socket. To install, you simply just push the end of the strut into the ball socket by hand (no need to loosen the clip first).One thing I did do was to add in slightly more multipurpose grease into the strut socket. Although it came with some grease, it was a very small dab, and so i added just a slightly larger dab. Fortunately, I had some grease lying around the garage. If you don't have it, that's ok. The grease in the socket should be sufficient.The strut fit perfectly (I did check before install to make sure it was the same length as the original one to be replaced). The hood stayed up as it should, and it took a nice firm push to lower the hood and close it.Overall, a very nice product. I will update over time to see how it holds up.

No instructions in box, however there are some on Amazon and lots of videos on YouTube.Installed they hold hood up nicely.To remove old struts, use screwdriver to remove spring clips and struts will come off easily.Now installing struts, first clean the studs.If they are rusty, use some fine sandpaper to remove.Then grease the studs.The new struts should push on, both sides without removing any panels.Just ordered trunk struts for same vehicle.Should pop open now to second latch and hold hood open now.Recommend.

This item works for the Lexus gs350. Great shipping

Very nice, and easy to install….and I’m saying that because my mechanic did it! I don’t have time for any type of manual labor, when I could be conditioning my hair or loving on my dogs, hamsters or child, so I know it was easy for HIM….because he did getter dine! LOL! They look good and work, and that’s all I care about. I’m about to go do a facial scrub…so this review is done!
