Hood struts

[Blaster]

Has anyone changed the hood struts on Pace Arrow, and where did you get them??? Mine wont hold the hood up. Would never hold the hood up!!!

Most auto parts stores carry those. Take one off and look for some numbers on it, or just take it to your local auto store and they should be able to match it.

I changed the hood struts on my pace because the originals wouldnt hold the hood up. Ordered new ones from Fleetwood parts. The new ones won't hold the hood up either. I think the hood is too heavy for those little struts. Now when I put the hood up, I wrap a velcro strap around the hinge arms and that holds it up fine. I just remove it when I'm ready to close it.

Well I checked all the auto stores, nothing I could use. Than went to Tractor supply and found some for a toolbox that were about a 1/2 inch shorter. They fit and work good. no more letting hood set on shoulder while checking oil. The hood goes up and down easy now and stays up till I push it down. The struts were 17.00 dollars apiece.
