PSA: To everyone who has my hood strut kit...
Since day one, I have noticed in how i had them setup, the hood moved up quickly and abruptly stopped causing the hood to "bounce". Oddly, only a hand full of people every mentioned it to me, but over the years I had no solution. A couple of people bought different struts and had asked if I had any alternative options. Well, until last week, I did not have a solution. So, now, 10 years later, I remember a couple of people commenting on how the struts should be flipped over putting the cylinder on the hood side. I didn't think anything of it and never tried it until last week ... AND Damn it if the hood didn't go up like usual but then at the last inch of travel, slowed down to a nice calm opening with no bounce in the hood!!! So this left me cursing at myself for never trying something so simple!
SO, long story short... hahaha
Flip your struts over putting the cylinder on the hood side and all will be great!!
Thank you everyone for your decade long patience and please pass this info around!!!
