Specifically designed for 2002–2006 Explorer models, these gas struts deliver a dependable, controlled lift and secure hold for the front hood, making routine maintenance safer and more convenient. Built as an exact-fit, OE-quality replacement, they restore smooth hood operation and help prevent sudden hood drops caused by worn or failing supports. The pair fits both front left and right positions, ensuring balanced performance across the hood. The gas springs measure 333 mm from center to center, with a full installed length typically 1–2 cm longer—an expected variation that does not affect performance. Crafted from durable plastic and metal components, they stand up to weather, temperature changes, and repeated use. OE part number 6L2Z16C826AA and interchange part 4142 SG404025 help confirm compatibility with 2002–2006 Ford Explorers and streamline your replacement process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll electronic and mechanical equipment, devices and machines sold by InterCyprus to EU countries are CE certified and carry a two year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSmooth, controlled hood opening and secure hold when you’re performing maintenance like oil changes or filter replacements—no more sudden drops.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReplace both sides in pairs for balanced lifting and uniform hood feel, reducing strain on one side over time.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEasy, direct-fit installation with OE-like geometry means minimal tools and downtime.
