A- Hood Bonnet Lift Supports Shock Struts for Nissan Maxima 2000-2003 2-PC Set

good replacement struts, installed easy, works as it should

The struts are working fine and hood lifts easily and stays in place again like new. Despite being mechanically challenged they installed without much drama other than pulling the clamp off of strut and having to reattach it and get it back into proper position . Someone else mentioned to be careful when pulling the clamp back not to dislodge it and despite knowing that I still managed to pop it off the strut. So if like me your diy skills are somewhat lacking be careful of that and I doubt you’ll have much problem.

Very good price and also easy to install

The set of struts come with ball screws. I didn't refer to any instructions prior to attempting installation... it appeared to me that because I had replacement ball screws attached to the struts that I should "simply" unscrew the old strut's screws and screw the new ball screws and struts into place. I found that the existing ball screws were pretty much impossible to unscrew from the car with a crescent wrench. I then watched a Youtube video about this replacement that pretty much stated the same instructions that this Amazon seller provides - which is to unclip the ball retaining clips from the old struts and simply re-use the balls on the new struts. This was much less stressful to me than attempting to unseat old screws that I would probably mar or strip out. Anyway, both struts took about 5 minutes each to replace when I understood what was going on. And these new struts are perfect - when I lift the hood about 2 feet up and let go, the new struts carry it up to the fully open position. A quick, easy fix for an old car nuisance issue.

Visually they look tougher than the original ones.They installed with no problem and work well.Great price and value!
