Lightbulb Weak Hood Shocks anyone???
I Did some research and testing at work today. And found something out I thought you guys would like to know.

Stock, I have hood shock Part Number 55276321AA-AC.

Come to find out that the newer shocks off of 07-10,Part number 55372200AA. FITS!!!

Ok so whats the BIG DEAL you might be saying???

I'm sharing this because the price of the ...321aa is about 45 bucks each and the ...200aa is 20 bucks each!

So thats a savings of 50 BUCKS. Extra money for fuel or whatever...NICE!

I just had to buy some...

Napa carries the stock OEM replacement and they are 31 bucks each.

They work great too! I just replaced one (because they didnt have 2 in) and with the one new shock, the hood lifts all the way up on its own...lol Just ask Jay!

I have a really quick question about your hood shocks...wouldnt they last longer if you got the Month Hood Shocks, rather than the Week ones?
