QiMox Qty(2) Gas Charged Front Hood Lift Supports, Struts Arms Compatible with Acura MDX 2007 to 2013 PM1109

Very easy to replace and it does what it’s supposed to. Great value

Purchased for 08 MDX after positive reviews on Amazon and mdxers.org, a great diy community for the MDX. Shipping was fast and well packaged. No included instructions or any product info. Easy install after you understand how the clips work. Plenty of easy-to-find online videos for that. Testing right after install showed one of the two struts binding -- in that it took a good amount of force to open it fully. After opening and closing the struts about 10 times or so (ie., raising/lowering the hood) it loosened up to where it appears to be working properly. Unsure whether this is a possible defect or necessary break-in. Definitely less smooth operation than original struts, but also about half the price. Worth it IF they hold up.

Right size. Good lift. Of course it is brand new but I can lift the hood with one finger. Just glad I don’t have to use vice grips any more on the old cylinders anymore. The 4 stars for installation is Acura engineerings fault. Not this manufacturer. Also had to tighten each end a little Clockwise. It came in a sealed bag so they won’t go anywhere in shipping. It’s a little noisy but what Cylindar isn’t.

These are awesome. I have a 2009 MDX and while I was checking the oil level a few weeks ago, my wife thought it would be funny to hit the panic button on my spare key which I leave on a hook in my kitchen. Flailed my arms, whacked the old strut which cracked it and caused all of the gas to leak out. I figured it would probably be better and more cost-effective to buy a pair of struts and replace both. Acura wanted $120 to replace both of these. I paid $26 out the door, installed them both in less than 5 minutes (while my keys were nowhere near my wife) and its back to normal. Several YouTube videos out there which will help with installation. I have no complaints at all, theyre very strong and I expect them to last through the remainder of the cars life.

Easy to install after I watched u tube. Operates nice and smooth.

My original hood struts never worked this good. Single finger to get it up and need some actual pressure down to close it. Replaced mine in my 2009 MDX after 11 years on the original that had signs of death as early as 5 years ago. At this price it was a no brainer (~$22).

The order came quick and the install was just as quick. Popped out the old struts and these snapped in with an issue. Saved $100 on labor cost to install these!

Great set of Hood lift needed them now no more problems thanks.

Old struts werent strong enough to keep the hood up so bought these. Crazy easy to install. The OEMs have metal clips while these are plastic so it will be interesting to see how they hold up over time. Also a little stiff but worth the $20 to replace my old ones.

Perfect replacement of worn out original hood shocks and easy installation on my 2012 Acura MDX.
