ARANA 6452 Hood Struts for Toyota Avalon 2005-2012, 2 Pcs

ARANA 6452 hood struts are a pair of gas lift supports engineered to replace the factory hood shocks on Toyota Avalon sedans from 2005–2012, restoring smooth, reliable hood opening and secure hold.

If your Avalon’s hood no longer stays open or opens sluggishly, these ARANA aftermarket hood lift supports match common OEM part numbers and fitments for a fast, budget-friendly swap. Constructed from high-carbon steel with multilayer chrome plating and anti-wear hydraulic fluid, they’re built to last through wide temperature ranges and thousands of compression cycles. The package contains two struts and the mounting hardware needed for a straightforward install that most owners complete in about five minutes with just simple tools.
