ADG05820 Blue Print Gas Spring

These things basically handle lifting and supporting your hood. They use compressed gas – nitrogen, usually – to do the work. They don't push the hood up, more like control the rate at which it rises and then gently hold it open. They dampen the movement, preventing the hood from shooting up or slamming down. It’s a sealed unit, so there’s no fluid to leak like with older strut designs. They’re attached to your hood and the body of the car, typically one on each side. When you release the hood latch, the gas spring expands and does the work of lifting and holding it open. When you close the hood, they control the descent, making it smooth and preventing damage. They're part of what makes it easy to access the engine for maintenance. Well, without these, you’d have to physically hold the hood up while you’re working on anything under there, which isn't safe or practical. More than that, a failing gas spring can lead to the hood falling unexpectedly, potentially causing injury or damaging the hood itself. You’ll notice if one is going bad because the hood might start to drift down, or it might take some effort to keep it open. If you’re doing any work under the hood regularly, having properly functioning gas springs is a big safety and convenience thing. You can find replacements pretty easily; a site like Fixparts Online has a good selection. They’re generally pretty straightforward to replace, but if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, a mechanic can handle it quickly. Simple and reliable: Gas Spring for Hood (MPN ADG05820) has a 12-month warranty!
