Assistants for Lexus LS460 and LS600, Japanese-made (2013-2017)

Kabot Assistants for Lexus LS were manufactured in Japan to provide performance worthy of the "Luxury Sedan" category. The product relies on nitrogen gas damping technology, which ensures effortless lifting of the large hood, with a "soft stop" feature at the end of the stroke to prevent jarring in the hinges. The outer cylinder is anti-oxidation treated with a heat-resistant black coating that withstands high engine temperatures, and the inner arm is highly polished to ensure smooth, frictionless movement. Safety valves: equipped with internal valves that maintain pressure stability even in extreme cold or hot temperatures. Tight seal: a double Japanese leak-proof system guarantees no gas leakage for many years of use. Signs of damage to Lexus LS hood supports: Sudden hood drop: inability of the supports to hold the hood up, posing a risk during maintenance. Need for manual assistance: feeling that the hood is very heavy and requires strong manual pushing to lift. Squeaking or rubbing sounds: unpleasant noise when opening the hood due to dry or damaged internal support. Oil traces: presence of liquid oil on the metal support arm, indicating gas pressure leakage. Why choose Japanese supports for your Lexus? Maintain luxury: provides smooth opening and closing movement that matches the quietness of the Lexus. Strength and reliability: designed to withstand the weight of the LS hood supported by heavy insulation materials. Easy installation: comes with a socket system exactly matching the agency’s, requiring no complicated tools for installation. Quality: Japanese manufacturing ensures the support does not weaken after a short period, unlike commercial types. Compatibility and models: This set (two pieces) is fully compatible with: Lexus LS460: models from 2013 to 2017 (updated shape). Lexus LS600h: models from 2013 to 2017. Installation instructions: Manual installation: have someone hold the hood while you remove the old part to ensure safety. Unlocking: use a small flat screwdriver to pull the metal safety clip at the support heads. Cleaning: clean the metal ball (Pivot Ball) in the car body before pressing the new Japanese support. Frequently Asked Questions: Is the price per piece or for the set? The price includes a full set (two pieces) for the right and left sides to ensure balanced lifting. Can it be installed on a 2010 model? No, supports for models from 2007-2012 differ in length and pressure strength from models 2013-2017. Do they weaken in winter?
