OEM Mercedes-Benz Jack Supports Genuine Parts

The Mercedes-Benz hood support jack is the gas strut that holds the bonnet safely open during inspection, service, or battery access. Mounted between the hood and the inner fender area, it works every time the hood is lifted and must support the panel’s weight smoothly in heat, cold, wind, and daily workshop use. On many Mercedes models, the hood is large and heavy, so the jack has to maintain consistent pressure without sudden drop-off.

When this exact part starts to fail, the signs are easy to notice even without a mechanic. The hood may rise part way and then stop, feel unusually heavy to lift, or slowly sink instead of staying fully open. In colder weather, a weak support jack often becomes noticeably worse, and you may need one hand to hold the hood while working. If the strut has oil residue on the body or no longer lifts evenly, it is typically at the end of its service life.

Choosing a genuine used OEM Mercedes hood support jack is a practical solution: factory-correct dimensions, proper mounting points, and original pressure characteristics, without the high cost of a new dealer part. It is usually a more dependable option than an aftermarket copy that may not fit or hold correctly. At IMC, every part is matched by VIN/chassis number before shipping, and carefully packaged for safe international delivery. Order with confidence.
