A-Premium Front Hood Struts Pair — OE-Fit Gas Lift Supports for Toyota Camry & Lexus ES300 1997–2001

These A-Premium front hood struts are a pair of gas-assisted lift supports engineered to replace worn hood shocks on Toyota Camry (CE/LE/XLE) and Lexus ES300 sedans from 1997–2001 (excluding Japan-built vehicles).

If your hood no longer holds open or lowers too quickly, these direct-fit gas springs restore smooth, controlled lifting and reliable hold. Each kit contains two gas struts designed for the front hood, matching OE-style attachment points and calibrated lengths so installation is straightforward for a DIYer or a technician. The shafts and bodies are sized for durability, and the package includes protective shipping to prevent damage before installation.
