QiMox Hood Lift Supports for Lexus ES350 2007–2014 — 2-Pc Front Gas Struts, OEM Fit, Corrosion-Resistant

QiMox hood lift supports are a direct-fit pair of front gas struts designed to restore smooth opening and a reliable hold for Lexus ES350 models from 2007 to 2014.

These replacement hood struts (2 pcs) match OEM mounting geometry and recommended force ratings so your hood raises smoothly, stays open safely, and closes without slamming. Built from Grade 45 high-carbon steel with multi-layer chrome plating and anti-wear hydraulic oil, they resist corrosion and maintain pressure across a wide temperature range. The set ships ready for a quick, drill-free installation that typically takes five minutes, making it an easy DIY refresh for aging hood supports.

Will these struts fit my Lexus ES350 from 2007–2014?

Yes — the QiMox pair is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for Lexus ES350 model years 2007 through 2014, matching OEM bracket spacing and stroke lengths. Before ordering, compare your original strut part number to the OEM numbers listed to ensure exact compatibility.

• Direct-fit design for Lexus ES350 2007–2014
• OEM numbers to verify: 534400W131, 96477, 017487, 534400W130, 534500W100, 534500W101, B96477

How durable are these hood lift supports in different weather conditions?

QiMox struts are built for all-weather performance, with materials and assembly that resist leaks, rust, and pressure loss. The high-carbon steel body, multi-layer chrome plating, and engineered hydraulic oil help maintain reliable damping from freezing cold to hot climates.

• Grade 45 high-carbon steel construction
• Multi-layer chrome finish for corrosion resistance
• Anti-wear hydraulic oil rated for -40°F to 110°F operation
• Engineered for 50,000+ compression cycles without noticeable force loss

How difficult is installation — can I replace them myself?

Installation is designed to be user-friendly and usually completes in about five minutes without drilling or specialized tools. The struts use a clip-style mounting system that connects to existing ball studs; a flathead screwdriver is often all you need to remove the old struts and snap the replacements into place.

• Drill-free, clip-on installation
• Typical install time: roughly 5 minutes
• Basic tools like a screwdriver recommended for safety
• Package includes two struts (2 pcs) for both sides

What performance can I expect day-to-day?

Once installed, expect consistent lift and hold behavior: the hood rises evenly, stays open securely, and lowers smoothly without abrupt drops. The design also helps prevent metal-on-metal contact and reduces the risk of the hood slamming shut during maintenance or loading.

• Smoother opening and steady hold to prevent accidental closure
• Reduced wear on hood hinges from controlled motion
• Designed to resist leaks and keep force consistent over time
• Restores original hood travel and alignment

Who is this for: This QiMox hood lift support set is ideal for Lexus ES350 owners (2007–2014) whose factory hood struts have become weak, noisy, or leaky and who want a reliable, OEM-compatible replacement without dealer expense. It suits DIYers who prefer a fast, drill-free swap and drivers in climates that demand durable, all-weather components.
