I'm not sure of the part # but I believe the hood struts can be purchased from any regular auto parts store (kragen, autozone etc.) they are somewhat simple to replace if you have a buddy to hold up the hood while you work, they are just held to the hood hinge with clips.

hope this helps

Exactly right. Replaced mine a few days ago - got them from Schucks, friend shelled out $60 for both shocks, lifetime warranty through manufacturer. Hood works fantastic now.

I got a set at Autozone a year ago, but I can't remember what I paid for them. I know it wasn't a bad price. Definately worth the money. I did the hood and the hatch

Replaced mine about 10 years ago with some I got at PepBoys, they had a life time warranty,the originals lasted 3 years and these are still going strong after 10.
