My Toyota 4Runner did not need washers as they did not come with them. The strut mounts were needed and had to be ordered separately from the vendor since they were not included in the package.
My guess would be gas, but I am not certain.
The vendor sent some to me among the reviews, but other reviewers claimed they didn't and had to get the vendor to send them.
They're shown in the picture, so I would assume that's the case.......

My wife just installed these on her What you need to do is listed below. open the hood (I used an extensible snow brush to do this). The upper stud on ONE side of the hood should be removed with a box wrench of 12MM. When you remove the top first, the strut will move out of the way more easily, letting you get to the bottom stud easier. It is necessary to remove the strut attached to the bottom stud. The holes for the studs on the top and bottom must be drilled and tapped (Note Original struts are equipped with a metal washer In order to speed up the installation procedure of these replacement studs, you could use a 12MM socket. Using some washers I had on hand, but you could most likely do without them, too. Glue one of the struts on the bottom stud (notice the orientation! It is mounted on top of a cylinder Those who are confused should look at the other side with the OEM strut installed). Place the top of the strut on to the upper stud (the head on it is swivel-able By this point, the new strut was able to keep the hood up, but I will still need to use something else to keep the hood at bay. As you did for the other side, install it the same way. It is my hope that this review will help you.
Changing these out was easy and they fit perfectly on a 2005 Toyota The studs have been replaced with new ones and are round and the same size as the originals. You should don't forget to properly assemble the hoods and remove them one at a time. The low cost is definitely worth it.
As simple as replacing them was, and as sturdy as they were, I heavily regret not having done so years In our 2004 Toyota 4Runner, we required two of these shocks to support the hood and when we replaced them, we were surprised to find that one shock was enough. Now that I have two in place, I don't have to worry about the hood falling on me again. In case you are even remotely considering replacing your hood shocks, I highly recommend you do so, since it is so inexpensive and so straightforward.
Remove the clips on the old one, then you can just put the new one up Usually, the strut is removed off of the car. After that, this one just popped in my head- This is true. As indicated in the YouTube installation tutorials, you will need a metric wrench to take the old one apart. For me, removing my old struts was simple since they had clips on either end that could simply be pried off so they could be removed. It doesn't matter that they're made in China the new struts are very strong and work well. Both struts needed only about 10 minutes of installation. Ensure that the shaft is positioned at the bottom and the black (wider) end of the strut is positioned on the end of the strut interface with.
For my 2004 Toyota 4Runner, I bought us to replace the hood hydraulics. My first mistake was not doing the hood hydraulics correctly because a washer was missing. There seems to be no way for me to remove the washers from the OEM hood struts. As a result, I needed washers that were similar in size so I could properly install them. Instead of including four washers, why not just include four?.
It doesn't require a lot of effort Getting rid of old ones was much more difficult than installing new It was necessary to use WD40 to loosen it. My thick stick helped to stand up the hood during the installation of the struts. I hope they will last for many.
My 2003 4Runner is equipped with these struts to replace the stock hood struts. It took 17 years for the original exhaust struts to fail. The positions are exactly the same as the originals. I was very happy with how it worked. Before installing the structs on the bolt heads, install and tighten the bolts in the hood and the body of the car. The unit plugs straight into the wall.
I found these to work okay on my Lexus GX470, but they are In the first place, mine did not come with the ball studs, which I would have appreciated much more. Originally, the old ones were cut up and the originals were taken out. Nevertheless, they are too powerful, which is my main reason for docking one star. It is too forceful once the hood is halfway up and it lifts the hood and throws it out of your hands. Although they do their job and hold up the hood, they are still there.
