Works great on my 2010 Highlander Limited.
Installation was very easy with the provided instructions. Works great, no issues at all. Not original brand, but not able to tell the difference. Fit perfectly without having to do any workaround or get additional parts. Only needed a screw driver and pliers. Took about 15 mins because I should have read the instructions first. Very well built, sturdy as heck. Great price compared to what so called name brand replacement cost. Closes and opens without any problems. After first installation, I thought it would not close due to intense pressure. But after a few hand closes, it worked perfectly. Definitely get some replacement grease, not oil. Pros - installation was easy with only 2 tools needed - works like original lifts - great quality with less cost - fit perfectly without any additional parts needed - very sturdy and strong feeling - very easy to use - closes door completely Cons - might have to manually push close a few times to lessen pressure

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement – Smooth, Strong, and Reliable!
I recently installed the ARANA Hood Struts Lift Supports on my 2018 Toyota Camry, and I’m extremely happy with the results. These struts are a perfect fit for the 2018 Camry, and the installation was surprisingly quick and straightforward, no special tools required. Right out of the box, the build quality feels solid and durable. Once installed, the hood lifts smoothly and stays securely in place without any wobbling or dropping.

Perfect fit and easy replacement
I bought these ARANA rear hatch trunk struts for a 2010–2015 Lexus RX350 and they worked perfectly. The installation was straightforward and they fit just like the original ones. After installing them, the rear hatch opens and holds up properly again. The quality seems good and the hatch now lifts smoothly without any issues. It is a simple and affordable way to fix a weak or falling trunk. The product arrived well packaged and the delivery was on time. Overall a good replacement part and I am satisfied with the purchase.

Super easy to install
I got tired of the hood slowly falling on my head while checking the oil and doing routine maintenance on my Santa Fe, so I finally ordered these replacements. I am so glad I did (I've had it for almost a year now, and it's still perfect.) The installation was incredibly straightforward. It literally took me less than 10 minutes to pop the old ones off and snap these new ones into place with just a flathead screwdriver. They fit the Santa Fe perfectly and are surprisingly strong when you pop the hood now, it lifts up smoothly on its own and stays firmly in place. If you do any of your own car maintenance. Great quality for the price!!!!

Solid replacement struts that keep working
I installed these rear hatch struts on my Nissan Xterra after the original ones got weak and started dropping the liftgate. The swap was straightforward, and they fit the factory mounting points without any drama. The best part is the long term reliability. Mine have been on for the past few years and they still hold the hatch up confidently, even when I am loading gear and taking my time. No more worrying about the liftgate slowly sinking or coming down unexpectedly. They do feel strong, especially right after installation, so closing the hatch can take a little more effort at first. For me, that tradeoff is worth it for the safety and convenience. If your rear hatch will not stay up anymore, these are an easy fix that has held up well over time.

Good strut, Installation instructions could be improved.
Struts are good for the price paid. Seem sturdy and fit my 2011 perfectly for length. I did, however, have an issue with the installation. The clip (connecting the hood) would not secure itself when the hood was fully open. I had to close the hood about 1/4 of the way in order for the clip to latch onto the hood. Once attached, it worked fine.

All good.
They do what they are supposed to do. :-). Don’t bother removing the strip to put them in. Can just squeeze the socket over the ball.
