[oneglory]

[az-epdrvr]

[Siborg]

I did the same and love it! part # is most likely:
G326011
but these #'s were on it also:
2995MK 01 40N 264/05 B 15
I got mine at pep boys for like $15,only thing is you need the ball pivot mount that wont be with this strut. I just looked through others that had it and opened both and after "comparing" them I put them back in the "right" packaging then paid and

Are you only running one? If so, how does it hold up? I know our hoods are light, especially if you have a CF hood. How is it when closing the hood? Smooth? Still sit flush?

just noticed that this has a bracket for the hood area where the bolts are and another bracket where it is on the frame...

the post that was up before, the guy drilled a hold on the frame and used a ball nut where the end of the damper just pops on...

do you have any close up pics of the bracket areas?

[civiclater]

thanks for the hook up. just finished mine. the strut comes from a honda passport 99-02. bought strut at autozone ($19.99). does not come with bracket or ball stud, but picked them up at salvage yard.

[civiclater]

thanks, looks great. any idea where you got the bracket for the hood or did you make it.

[civiclater]

went to parts store today and they said those part numbers are no good. anyone with some help on part numbers?

[Siborg]

sorry about that, no the bracket was on it but the ball pivot that mounts by the headlight, was with a different strut, I think(not sure) the strut's for like an isuzu lift glass or something.
