ARANA Hood Struts Shocks Lift Support Fits for Ford Expedition & Lincoln Navigator 2018-2024, Replacement OE# JL1Z16C826A JL1B16C826AD, 2 Pcs

Easy to install on a 2013 Subaru Outback. Fit was perfect and took maybe 10 min to install after watching a YouTube video to show the steps and which size wrenches to use (10mm socket and 12mm open wrench. Seem to be working well and much cheaper than paying a repair shop to replace them but we'll see how long they last for. Cheap and easy to replace when they fail though.

I got these as replacement for my car hatch. These come extended and need to soften in, making it tricky to get them on at first--and likely leading people to think they don't fit but they do! This was a simple swap as soon as I figured out that the old metal rings have to pop out. Then it's just a pop back on. My (amazing) mechanic quoted $120 for parts and labor. This took me 15 minutes (I could do it in 5 now) and cost me $30. So well worth it! It keeps the hatch all the way open now- high up and out of the way. The hatch closes perfectly, they lift quickly, and they close easily. They look just like my other ones. Great product, easy install. I'm considering buying some for a cabinet project I have.

Fit perfectly on my 2014 Honda Pilot. It was easy to install and it’s excellent quality. So much cheaper and easier than having a mechanic do it

Nice replacement for worn out struts on our 2005 Trailblazer. We just picked up this SUV with only 30K miles on it (average is only 1500 miles a year) but the struts seemed weak and we had to lift the tailgate. These new struts lift the tailgate for us. Installation was easy. You need to pop off the ball joint clips on the bottom and top of the old strut, pull it off the ball posts (easy, they just pop off), take the clips off the new strut, firmly pop it on the ball posts (should hear them snap onto the post), then push the clips back on. The top clips can be a little difficult - get the clip into the rear slot first then work your way around front with a flat head screwdriver. It needs to be fully seated in the slots to prevent the strut from popping off. You’ll understand once you look at the strut - it’s pretty simple. Also I did not need to keep the strut compressed to install - just pushed up on the tailgate a bit. Did it on my own but you may want a 2x4 or a second set of hands to hold up the tailgate while you work. Total install time for both struts was about 15 minutes.

Shocks Snap right in no need to pull the metal clip. I noticed that the shocks are a few mm longer than OEM making them extend longer and open higher than my previous shocks, It appears to be fine and does not affect the function of the design and use. Over all good shocks.

Fit perfectly on 2011 Subaru. Easy to install. Work great! Good as new.

I have a 2017 Jeep Wrangler and my back window struts just gave out! These are PERFECT! They came with clear easy instructions, but we also watched a quick video. Installing these took less than 10 minutes! They are so strong opening and holding up tight and strong! Great price and fit perfect!

Nice quality item. Easy to install. Works perfectly.

Fit on my 2011 jeep and works great, easy to install

Easy to install, high quality, nice packaging.

a bit on the hard side, but still not a problem and I dont fear risking breaking the glass

Fit good my 03 trailblazer

They do what they are supposed to do. :-). Don’t bother removing the strip to put them in. Can just squeeze the socket over the ball.
