Front Hood Gas Struts Pair for Mercedes Benz ML Class W163 1998-2005 850N 234mm Aftermarket
Restore the smooth, controlled lifting of your Mercedes Benz W163 hood with this dedicated pair of front bonnet gas struts. Designed for the ML-class (1998–2005), these high-strength gas springs provide reliable support, reducing hood drift and making engine work safer and easier.
This is a brand-new aftermarket replacement (NOT GENUINE) from ANG RONG. Constructed from sturdy steel with carbon components and a scratch-resistant black finish, they deliver durable performance in daily use. The gas struts feature an extended length of 234 mm (center hole to center hole) and an eject force of 850N, tuned to deliver the right balance of lift and hold for a confident, smooth operation. They are designed for front bonnet installation and fit both left and right sides, making replacement straightforward for a wide range of W163 ML models.
Ideal for owners maintaining older ML230, ML270, ML320, ML350, ML400, ML430, ML500, and ML55 AMG vehicles. Replacing worn or sagging hood struts with these units helps prevent dangerous hood drops and reduces the effort required to prop up the bonnet during maintenance. Easy to install and ready to restore original hood performance without complications.
