Since I was already leaving my car for service, the garage asked if I wanted to have my hood shocks replaced at the same time. Without thinking (I did not bother to ask parts cost or service fee as it was a “impulse buy” and I figured it could not be that expensive, my fault), I had them go ahead and do the replacement. Ended up charging me $72 USD for the parts, with install “free” as a “complimentary” service. Not exactly the same comparison (apples to oranges, or Merc vs Hyundai), but more recently, when the engine hood struts on my Hyundai Sonata went out, I decided to buy the parts and just replace the struts myself (how tough can it be?). Ordered these hood shocks and paid $16.85 (parts, tax and shipping total) and parts arrived in 1 1/2 days via desertcart Prime! Took all of ten minutes to remove old struts and replace with these. Fit was perfect, works very well, and of course, excellent value so far. Even in this cold winter weather, the struts maintain enough pressure to keep the hood up easily and securely, just like when the car was new. I can attest to the somewhat heavy weight of the front engine hood on the Sonata when the old struts lost their seals and I had to lift and hold the hood in place with a stick when checking fluid levels. Basically, these struts, retaining clip design, and construction appear (at least superficially) to be exactly the same as the OEM struts. Again, at this time, they seem to be an excellent value (will see how long and how well the struts continue to successfully hold the hood up in time). Definitely 5 stars (at this time)! ## Features - 🚗【Compatibility】This automotive front hood strut compatible with 11 12 13 14 Hyundai Sonata (Excluding Hybrid). - 🚗【Replace Part】This automotive hood shock replaces vehicle Hyundai Sonata front lift gate support OEM Part No 6489, SG367017, 81161-3Q000, 81171-3Q000, K90-0042, QLS029. - 🚗【Size】Compressed Length: 9.63 inch; Extended Length: 15.13 inch. - 🚗【Package Content】It is a pair of 2 pieces which includes left and right sides (without screws). - 🚗【Installation】There are NO screws or other fasteners required.

The installation was straightforward—took me less than 15 minutes to get everything set up. Once installed, the gas springs worked perfectly, and my hood now stays open securely, even with the added weight of the engine components. They’re well-built, durable, and function just like the original struts. If you need a quick fix for your car’s hood, this set is a great option. Pros: Easy to install with no professional help needed. Durable and high-quality construction. Works just like the original parts. Affordable replacement for hood struts. Cons: Not compatible with hybrid models. Requires basic tools for installation. ## Frequently Bought Together - AiYiGu Front Engine Hood Struts Shocks Lift Supports Gas Springs 6489 Compatible with 2011 2012 2013 2014 Hyundai Sonata 4 Door Replacement SG367017 81161-3Q000 Set of 2 PCS (Excluding Hybrid) - Femota MERV 13 Cabin Air Filter with Activated Carbon, CF11819(CP819) for Hyundai Sonata,Azera, Kia Cadenza,Optima,Sedona, GMC Terrain, Chevy Equinox - FRAM Extra Guard CA10881 Replacement Engine Air Filter for Select Hyundai and Kia Models, Provides Up to 12 Months or 12,000 Miles Filter Protection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/415905409-front-engine-hood-struts-shocks-lift-supports-gas-springs-6489](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/415905409-front-engine-hood-struts-shocks-lift-supports-gas-springs-6489) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
