Front Hood Gas Struts for Porsche 911 Cayman Boxster 987
Restore reliable bonnet support with this precision-engineered set of pneumatic gas struts, designed specifically for the Porsche 911 (997), Cayman, and Boxster (987) platforms manufactured from 2004 through 2013. As factory hinges lose internal nitrogen pressure, they often fail to hold the hood fully open, turning routine maintenance into a frustrating balancing act. These replacement lifts deliver a consistent 380 N eject force, keeping the front panel securely elevated while you check oil levels, replace air filters, or access engine components. Fabricated from corrosion-resistant steel housings and reinforced plastic end fittings, the assemblies maintain stable tension across typical driving climate ranges. Directly aligned with reference designation 99751155101, they bolt onto the original chassis attachment points without modifications, bridging the gap between aging hardware and dependable daily operation.
Benefits & Practical Tips
These units eliminate dangerous bonnet-drop hazards while streamlining workshop tasks.
- Pair both struts simultaneously during initial fitting to maintain balanced hood weight while connecting the lower ball joints.
- Clean the mounting bracket contact surfaces with isopropyl alcohol before installation to prevent premature wear on the rubber bushings.
- Store spare struts upright in a dry environment to preserve seal integrity when not in use.

Installation Reminders
Verify your current OEM part number matches 99751155101 prior to ordering, as mounting bracket styles vary slightly across model year batches. Always engage the vehicle parking brake and secure the bonnet with a temporary prop rod before unmounting the old struts, as sudden pressure release can occur during piston compression.
