They match common Toyota part numbers (including 96757, 5344006091, 53450-06080\/06081) and are designed to recreate the factory motion and hold. The set is sold for the front hood and comes with installation guidance so you can replace worn or leaking struts with minimal tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these hood struts improve hood operation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn gas struts lose pressure over time, causing the hood to sag or require two hands to lift.
