Product Description

The Roush 422043 Hood Strut Kit is a premium upgrade for Ford Mustang models from 2015 through 2023 that replaces the factory hood prop rod with gas-charged struts, allowing the hood to open and stay raised without manual support. Designed to use the stock hood hinge locations and attachment points, this kit installs quickly with basic hand tools and requires no drilling. The heavy-duty black e-coated brackets feature the laser-etched ROUSH logo for an enhanced engine bay look while providing reliable structural support for the hood.

This kit is compatible with a wide range of Mustang trims, including V6, EcoBoost (standard and Premium), GT (standard and Premium), Bullitt, Mach 1, and Shelby GT500 models - as long as the vehicle does not have the Ford active hood safety feature. The calibrated dampening in the gas struts ensures smooth and steady hood motion, while the included support pads help protect the hood surface. With straightforward installation and durable construction, the 422043 Hood Strut Kit enhances both convenience and presentation for Mustang owners looking to improve everyday engine bay access.
