Hi, me again the front and rear bonnet lifters on the 348 and 355 are all the same? Did anyone have the length of them for me when they are all in and when they are all out? I already throw away my old ones. Thanks. ____________________________ Samy
http://www.hill-engineering.co.uk/ferrari-miscellaneous.htm HS-01 - 348/355 Hood Strut ( OEM Ferrari 62175300) £17.50 The Sachs part number for the 355/348 engine lid and front hood struts is SG437007. rockauto.com has them at $26.79 each...plus $4.01 each for shipping. - thanks, DaveHanda I still have the old Stabillis 348 hood strut, so I took it to the Audi spare shop again and bought another one. Both ball joint ends including the shaft are chrome while the original are black. The body Cylinder is black. The make is "TRIDON" and the part number is 4B5 827 552D for the rear bonnet of the Audi A6 (C5) . It cost me another $33. Be warned that it is slightly fatter than OEM 348 and extra strong even with just one. If you change both, you might bend the bonnet trying to close it! Even with just one on the rear, I have to put a hand on the cover before I pull the level as it will spring up. - thanks, William Heung
I will took something not so strong these lifters are available here in any strength and length for arround $5. Thats why i not buy a guniune one from usa wich costs me then with shipping $120 Did you have the length from the lifters? You said something about the old hood strut .. are there a new version with changed lifters ? _____________________ Samy
