AiYiGu Front Hood Strut Shocks for BMW 3 Series (E90/E91/E92/E93) 2006-2012 — Pair, Gas-Charged OEM Fit

If your BMW’s front hood no longer stays open or moves unevenly, these gas-charged hood struts provide a factory-style feel and reliable support. Built to match the OEM dimensions and mounting form, the AiYiGu set replaces worn or weak lift supports so the hood opens smoothly and remains secure while you work. Each purchase includes two shocks—left and right—ready for straightforward swap-out installation without extra fasteners.

How do I install the AiYiGu hood struts — do I need tools or extra parts?

Installation is simple and fast: the struts are designed to snap onto the original ball-stud mounts, so no new screws or special brackets are required. A flathead screwdriver helps to pry off the old brackets, and you should support the hood with a prop rod or a second person before removing the old struts for safety.

• No screws or fasteners included or required for installation
• Use a flathead screwdriver to release the old bracket retainers
• Prop the hood securely before removing the original struts
• Swap left and right units; confirm proper seating on ball studs

What are the dimensions and package contents I should expect?

Each strut has compact compressed and extended lengths to match factory motion and geometry. The set ships as a matched left-right pair without mounting hardware in the box, ready to replace your worn hood supports.

• Compressed length: 9.83 inches
• Extended length: 15.58 inches
• Package contains two pieces (left and right struts)
• No screws included—uses existing vehicle mounts
