Bentley & Rolls-Royce Right Hood Strut -PP30472PA

Is the hood on your Bentley or Rolls-Royce no longer staying open on its own? A worn or failed hood strut is a common issue on these models — and part number PP30472PA is the correct right hand replacement hood strut for the full range of Bentley Arnage, Azure, Brooklands and Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph and Park Ward models.

The hood strut is a gas-pressurised support rod that holds the bonnet open safely while you or your technician works on the engine. Over time the internal gas pressure diminishes, causing the strut to lose its ability to hold the hood up — a frustrating and potentially dangerous problem when carrying out any underbonnet work.

This part also cross-references as PP30472PAP — the Prestige Parts aftermarket version manufactured to OEM specification.

Important installation note: For optimum lubrication and longest service life, this strut should be installed with the piston rod pointing downwards when the hood is in the closed (inactive) position.

Signs your hood strut needs replacing: Hood slowly drops or falls when open, hood only stays open when propped manually, strut feels loose or offers no resistance when compressed, visible oil residue or leaking around the strut body.
