Product Description

The Arrowhead Shock Bonnet Stay is designed to support and stabilise the bonnet of your Mercedes-Benz, making it easy and safe to access the engine compartment. This gas strut provides reliable lifting and holding force, ensuring your bonnet stays open securely while you work underneath or perform routine checks. It is commonly used in the INTERIOR EXTERIOR BODY SHOCK STAY category, offering both convenience and safety during vehicle maintenance.

This part is specifically intended for Mercedes-Benz models, particularly those in the W204 range. Please check your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to confirm compatibility before ordering, as fitment may vary within the Mercedes-Benz line-up.

Common symptoms of a failing shock bonnet stay include the bonnet not staying open, sudden dropping or closing of the bonnet, uneven or jerky movement when lifting, visible oil leakage from the strut, or a noticeable loss of resistance when opening the bonnet. If you experience these issues, it is likely time to replace the stay.

Replacement is recommended when the bonnet strut no longer provides adequate support or shows signs of wear, such as decreased pressure or leakage. Timely replacement ensures safe and convenient access to your engine bay and prevents accidental bonnet closure.
