  Hood Lift Support, Lift Assembly Gas

• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford hood lift support, cataloged by Ford as a lift cylinder and gas lift assembly, and it is the pressurized gas strut that holds the hood open and assists in raising it. Mounted on the right side, it uses internal gas pressure to counterbalance the hood weight so the hood rises smoothly and stays up on its own. It fits Ranger applications and shares the 16C826 base with the opposite-side sibling used for the left support. Owners search for this lift support when the hood no longer stays up, drops slowly, or must be propped, when the strut feels weak or leaks, or when cold weather exposes a failing cylinder. A worn gas strut lets the hood fall unexpectedly, which is both an inconvenience and a hazard during service, so a fresh factory support restores safe, reliable hold. As a Ford OEM part it matches the original extended length, force rating, and end fittings for a direct fit without modification. Confirm the side against the original before ordering, since the left and right supports differ. Installing the correct lift support returns dependable hood hold, eliminates the need to prop the hood, and restores smooth one-hand opening, all with the confidence of genuine Ford fit and quality.
