Product Overview
Hood assist struts help support the weight of a heavy truck hood and control its movement when opened or closed. Struts that lose holding force can allow the hood to drop or make it difficult to raise safely.
This listing includes two struts. The L71-6020 reference is associated with non-locking hood assist applications; verify that your existing hood hardware uses this type and the same attachment points before replacing the pair.
Key Features & Performance
- Two replacement hood support struts
- 30.5-inch extended length listed for the L71-6020 application
- Designed for selected Kenworth T680 and Peterbilt 579 hood support systems
- Replace tired or leaking supports to restore controlled hood movement
Vehicle Fitment
Kenworth T680 and Peterbilt 579 trucks equipped with the compatible L71-6020 hood-assist strut. Trucks with different hood, locking or support systems may require other parts.
Measurements & References
Extended length: approximately 30.5 in. One matching supplier lists compressed length at approximately 22 in; confirm measurement method and end fittings against the original strut. References found in replacement catalogs include L71-6020, L716008, L71-6008 and A99608. Verify interchange before purchase.
Installation & Safety
Support the hood securely before removing old struts. Replace one support at a time where practical, and check that mounting hardware and hinges are in good condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the listing include one strut or two? A: The original product title specifies two hood shocks.
Q: Is this the same as a locking hood support? A: Not necessarily. L71-6020 is described in supplier catalogs as a non-locking hood assist; match the design installed on your truck.
Q: Are these genuine Kenworth or Peterbilt OEM struts? A: These are aftermarket replacement parts, not original OEM-branded struts.
