Gas Spring Struts for Audi Hood A6 A7 RS7 S6 S7 2012-2018 Replacement Kit Pack of 2
Audi Hood Gas Spring Struts for A6 A7 RS7 S6 S7 (2012-2018) – 2pcs is a precision replacement kit that restores easy, reliable hood operation on a wide range of Audi models. If your hood struggles to stay open, saggs or drops suddenly, these two robust gas springs give you smooth, controlled support exactly where you need it.
Designed to fit 2012–2018 Audi A6, A6 Quattro, A7, A7 Quattro, RS7, S6, and S7 variants, this front hood spring set replaces worn or damaged components with factory‑like performance. Each strut is forged from steel with a durable black finish, engineered for reliable operation across a variety of trims and body styles. The kit includes two struts—one for each side—providing balanced lift and controlled descent for safe and convenient hood handling.
Key details ensure compatibility and performance. The struts are approximately 33 cm long with a compact 1.8 cm diameter, and each piece weighs about 378 g. OEM cross-reference numbers (4G8 823 359 A, 4G8823359A, PM3285, SG401062) help you confirm fitment, while the interchangeable design supports both left and right front mounting on compatible vehicles. Originating in Mainland China, these parts are built to meet the demands of daily driving and routine maintenance tasks.
Why this matters: a hood that stays securely open during maintenance prevents accidental closures, protects you from injury, and reduces the risk of damage to the hood and surround. The beefier steel construction delivers consistent performance over time, even after repeated opening and closing cycles, so you can work confidently in any season.
Benefits & Tips
- Keep your engine bay service-friendly: install on both sides to ensure balanced lifting force and avoid uneven hood behavior.
- Ideal for routine maintenance and cleaning: with reliable lift, you can safely prop the hood while you inspect belts, fluids, or replace components.
- Prolonged weather exposure handling: steady, controlled opening reduces the chance of hood flutter in windy conditions or during temperature swings.
