Part # 4422 Strong Arm hood lifts JUNK
Just a courtesy heads up, These are TRASH !!!
I got the #4422 hood lifts at O'reilly's around 2013/2014 and the car was mostly parked/garage kept. So now I just had to replaced them again cause the hood is starting to drop down 2-3 inches when it was raised up
Luckily, I have a "hook up" at my local O'reilly's and got them swapped out for free with the MUCH better quality sachs brand
Now, I'm wondering how long more my #4900 rear hatch lifts will last

Yeah getting ready to move, so everything is packed up in boxes and for some reason they couldn't find my purchase history in their system go figure
You have luck where you live in Kansas because down here in Oklahoma and sometimes when I'm in California, they get fussy and picky about these so called "lifetime" warranties
Like I mentioned before, What saved my a$$ was that I have a manager "hookup" at my local O'Reilly's and he swapped them out no questions asked

I also have had great luck with the sachs brand lifts both front and rear.
I have been using the same ones rated for the steel hood on my 2in Steel Goodmark for over 5 years now.
They also come with the Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Got that Sachs number. Let me confirm that it's the proper number before I post up. ...if anyone knows for sure, please post.
OK, looks like it's SG430001. All positive reviews and MUCH cheaper than strong arm, holy cow!!!! ...gonna order a set right now!!!!!!

Re: Part # 4422 Strong Arm hood lifts JUNK
Yes, That's the correct part # for the "metal" hood
In this case, I suggest you buy from an actual store that price matches online so you can "Exchange" these when they wear out.
