Chevy Impala Hood Shocks + Struts

As an integral part of your Chevy Impala’s exterior design, the hood also serves as a door that provides access to the engine compartment when service is needed. When inspecting or servicing your engine or other underhood components, you often need both of your hands free to carry out the required work. Hood shocks are designed to keep the hood panel securely in place when opened thus providing you with better access. Apart from that, hood shocks, also known as hood lift supports, enable you to raise and close the hood of your auto smoothly and quietly.

Hood shocks function by storing energy and compressing the gas into a cylinder. Hood lift supports are prone to wear and may fail sooner than you might expect, leaving your hood without the support and causing you inconveniences. Over the years of use, hood shocks may start leaking and become too weak to hold the hood securely, which may result in car damage or personal injury if the hood panel suddenly falls when you are in the middle of your restoration or service work. To avoid such troubles, replace defective lift supports with our first-rate Chevy Impala hood shocks and struts as soon as possible.
