Hi, so unlucky the hood strut doesn't work since last week, for the hydraulic pressure system was broken. the internal oil flowed out. I have been hit 2 times by the unexpected dropping hood. So, before fixing it, any replacement of FPR isn't possible.

Pls give any suggestions where to buy one with low price. I saw a new one specified for S40 is $50, it's too expensive. But someones maybe only $7. I want to know whether it's ok?

 

I know the dealer will charge 200 bucks to replace a new of hood struct.
I went to AutoZone to buy a new one to be delivered on Wed, and then I'll go to take it back and replace it by myself.
The price is $25 including tax. Its name printed on the receipt is 'mighty lift hood'.

 

Update: today I pick up the new 'mighty lift hood' from AutoZone and install it within 5 mins to replace the old broken one. The attached photos for references. Just one screwdriver is enough.
