LS400 bonnet struts

[Stanwithaplan]

I have just fitted new bonnet struts, perfect fit, seem very strong. So here's the link to where I got them from, just in case. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262798433773. seller is called light-hut

Does it come in a set of two or do i need to buy two struts alone?

Hello Maelo and welcome to the LOC

They tend to be sold in pairs and if you read the description for the eBay seller’s listing it does say “pair”

Just make sure your bonnet is well supported with a piece of wood and another person around before removing the struts!

“What we have here is a pair of BRAND NEW struts which come complete with new ball joints ready to bolt onto the car - Fitting is very simple and merely take 5 minutes - simply undo the 2 bolts holding each old strut.Then screw the new struts onto the car - simple straight swap.”

Thank you very much for the warm welcoming, this is my first car and i am just very nervous on buying parts along with having no experience on fixing cars or knowledge of car parts and their purpose

No problem, other members are always happy to offer help and advice.

The job is very DIYable with just a few basic tools, there is a Youtube link below.

The main thing is making sure that bonnet/hood is fully and securely held up before removing the struts, the weight if if fell down could cause serious injury!
