Can't find hood struts in Europe


Recommended Posts

Hello. I am looking for hood struts (bonnet gas spring) in auto parts stores online in Europe, and I can't find that part for a 1999 LS400. 

I do find them in USA stores easily but apparently in Europe is not that straight forward.

Sorry, my mistake, I read your post as 89 instead of 99.

All I can suggest is that you email them or phone them to see when they will have more stock. I think they manufacture the struts themselves onsite, so they should be able to do something for you.

I just called them and they told me they don't make them anymore. And they said there are two types of struts for the LS400, one for the 89 to 95 model and then another one for the 96 to 00 model. I guess the bonnet strut lengh is different.

It wasn't really a problem to find the part number 5344059035 related to the hood bonnet lift support struts (just for future googleers) but to find a european store shipping from Europe. It is just a matter of time and avoiding possible import time delays, knowing the price would be already higher in Europe I am willing to pay an extra for a quick shipping option. 

But no luck today.

 

I just got them from China, 17$ a pair free shipping, its going to take 2 to 3  weeks.:hammer:

I know, but the situation is not that critical to the point of paying 3 to 4 times what I can get from China and be happy with it. Fedex won't deliver the package to me, because they handle it to a different company once it arrives to Spain. 

The FedEx option costs 57$ and 21% on top of that and some times up to 40% more depending on how FedEx/UPS/DHL thinks they can get. And One week of wait time realistically. 

China option 17$ all included. 15 to 21 days waiting time.
