ARANA Hood Strut Shock for Buick Enclave & Chevy Traverse 2008–2017, Single-Piece Direct-Fit Gas Lift

If your vehicle's hood no longer stays open or drops unexpectedly, this ARANA replacement strut restores smooth, reliable lift and hold performance without the dealer price. Engineered from industrial-grade 45# high-carbon steel with multi-layer chrome plating and filled with wear-resistant hydraulic fluid, the strut resists corrosion and maintains pressure across a wide temperature range. It ships as a single piece and matches common OEM part numbers so you can verify fit before purchase.

Will this hood strut fit my Buick Enclave or Chevy Traverse?

Compatibility covers Buick Enclave models from 2008 to 2017 (Base, Convenience, Leather trims) and Chevy Traverse Base/LS/LT/LTS trims from 2013 to 2017 when the original hood strut uses the same mount style. Always confirm using your vehicle’s existing part number for the best match.
