Front Hood Strut - Compatible with 2002 - 2010 Ford Explorer 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009

This seems a good solid well-made part, and a perfect match for my vehicle- it took just less time to install than it did to grab the narrow-bladed common screwdriver and locking pliers and back the vehicle out of garage for better light. And how nice to have the hood easily held up and in place without having to use a piece of pipe for a brace - for the price, and a few minutes work, it is well worth losing the pipe! Easy enough that a 75-year old could do it, so long as you can sill open jars, etc. to be able to squeeze the ball into the bal joint
