This hood shock is a gas-charged strut designed to provide controlled lifting and lowering assistance for the engine hood on Volvo and Mack trucks. It ensures smooth operation and prevents the hood from slamming shut, maintaining its original functionality. A worn shock will feel significantly lighter, may not hold the hood open, and can lead to the hood dropping unexpectedly.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first sign of a failing hood shock is a noticeable decrease in the force required to lift the hood. If left unaddressed, the shock will eventually lose all its lifting capacity, leaving the hood unsupported. This can result in the hood unexpectedly falling, potentially causing damage or injury.
Before installing new hood shocks, ensure the mounting points are clean and free of corrosion. Avoid using excessive force or prying when attaching the new shocks, as this can damage the seals or the mounting hardware.
Inspect the hood hinges and latch mechanism for wear or damage when replacing the hood shocks.
