hood struts for chrysler LHS 2001
do I need to replace both hood struts or just one of them? I checked
out some of the parts websites, noticed that they had a right & left version. -- <---=««-Dilbert Firestorm-»»=---> Zizzle that Fire - it's Zizzle Time !!!!!!! |

Might be a good time to do the brakes too. Check the short axles etc. -- It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.

If they've both been replaced, but a while ago, yes. If you got a pair in the (very) recent past and one has failed prematurely, no. The basic point is that they're a set, and if one has failed the other is really weak (to the point where the distinction between its current state and failure is probably pretty academic). Rarely, a strut will be defective and will fail long before its twin. Rarely. |

if you bought cheapies at a discount auto store its not unheard of them
failing sooner than expected too. I had a pair from AutoZone at 18.00 each, last less than 2 years.
