AiYiGu Hood Strut Shocks for 2011–2015 Kia Sorento — Pair, Gas-Charged, OEM Fit

The AiYiGu 6267 front hood strut is a direct-fit pair of gas shocks that replaces OEM hood lift supports on 2011–2015 Kia Sorento models to hold and smoothly lift the heavy front hood.

Designed specifically for the 2011–2015 Kia Sorento, this set of two hood strut shocks provides a straightforward replacement for worn or weak original lift supports. Each strut installs without extra fasteners, matches OEM lengths, and restores consistent hood lift and hold. The pair comes as left and right units and is covered by a 24-month warranty from AiYiGu.

Will these struts fit my 2011–2015 Kia Sorento?

Yes — the AiYiGu 6267 struts are engineered to match the fitment and mounting style used on 2011–2015 Sorento front hoods. They replace common OEM part numbers and attach using the vehicle’s existing ball-stud brackets.

• Compatible years: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Kia Sorento.
• Replaces OEM numbers like 6267, PM3413, 81160-1U100, 81160-2P000.
• Sold as a pair (left and right) for complete hood support replacement.

How do I install these hood struts on my Sorento?

Installation is quick and normally requires no screws or special tools; a flathead screwdriver is used to release the old retainers and press the new strut onto the vehicle’s ball studs. Always prop the hood open safely with a rod or have an assistant hold it while you work.

• No extra fasteners included or required — clips snap onto ball studs.
• Use a flathead to pry off old bracket clips, then press new strut onto studs.
• Prop the hood or use a helper to avoid injury during replacement.

What are the size and performance details I should know?

Each strut has a compressed length of 11.75 inches and an extended length of 18.25 inches, matching the factory stroke to ensure correct hood travel and secure holding force. The gas-charged piston provides steady lift and resists sagging over time compared with worn original struts.

• Compressed length: 11.75 inches; extended length: 18.25 inches.
• Gas-charged design for consistent lift and resistance to sag.
• Sold as two pieces covering both left and right hood supports.
