My Hood Is Being Damage By My Left Side Strut.

[Andytanes]

I have a 93 es300 and the thing drives great but just yesterday I noticed that my hood had a nickel sized bump popping out of it. When I opened the hood I saw that my left side strut had broken thru the assembly :cries: and was pushing my hood up and seems like it may make a hole thru the hood :cries: . The car is not leaning or anything but it is making sounds whenever I drive over bumps. :( Should I change both of the struts or just that one the other one looks fine.

Change them both, buy a new hood & inspect the entire suspension tower geometry.

I'm not even gonna touch maint so low you have a strut break throguh the mount & hit the hood LoL!

I am lost????????

How is the strut coming out of the housing?

The main shock bolt or the shock bushing with is attaced by 3 bolts?

The center rod has somehow broken out of the :o :o housing I do not know how but it did. I can push it back down to the housing b ut it will not stay there. I have never had that happen on any of my cars when ever the :whistles: struts or shocks went bad the ride would be bumppy :chairshot: ;) nothing like this.
