Bentley Mulsanne Front Hood Strut 3Y0823359A

Restore the effortless operation of your vehicle’s hood with this Genuine Bentley Gas Strut. Specifically designed for the 3Y chassis Mulsanne, this strut (3Y0823359A) features factory-calibrated pressure to counteract the weight of the aluminum hood, ensuring it stays safely in the upright position during maintenance.

As a factory-original component, it features a nitride-plated piston rod for superior corrosion resistance and high-grade internal seals to prevent pressure loss in extreme temperatures. Replacing your worn-out hood struts prevents accidental closure and ensures your engine bay remains easily accessible for servicing.

Pro Tech Tip: Mulsanne hood struts are under significant pressure. Mandatory: Always have a second person hold the hood open or use a secure prop rod while removing the old struts. Installation Tip: For optimum lubrication of the internal seals, install the strut with the piston rod pointing downwards when the hood is closed. This prevents the seals from drying out and significantly extends the life of the part. Caution: Do not attempt to compress the strut by hand before installation; the internal force is too high and requires the leverage of the hood to move.
