I purchased the Chinese knock-off several months ago. It works, but the struts must have been designed for a 60's Lincoln (with a monster hood) - way too powerful. I have to keep my hand on hood to keep it from "snapping" open. Worried about potential damage. Ya get whatcha pay for.........g

Just ordered mine. I've heard really good things about these. I don't understand the contentious comments above. You don't like them, don't buy them. Everyone needs to keep things fun on this forum!

Hello guys… will these shocks help with hood shake on the Pros?
I had the hood struts on hand and ready to go when my truck arrived so I barely drove it before installing them but I have not noticed any if at all hood shake like others have reported on mine. I could definitely see them helping with that issue though as they are nice to have.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
