    I just installed my hood lift struts and they are so much better than using that stupid hood prop. install time was about a 45mins with having no clue what todo and finding all tools, so it prolly could be done faster.

    Redline? Watch out for the hinge rusting.

    I've had mine for several years. No issues at all.

    No, leave them alone. I have a few members in my local club that have ZERO problems but a 2 or 3 that have had the ball start to rust. I want a set too.

    Looks like they are on upside down.
    The rod end should be on bottom to be kept properly lubed I think.
