If the hood on your Toyota Camry XV70 no longer holds itself open or requires effort to lift, the gas struts have lost their charge and need replacing. These front hood lift supports are built specifically for the Camry XV70 platform across all model years from 2018 to 2023. They restore the smooth, hands-free bonnet operation the vehicle had when new. The set includes both left and right struts, uses the original mounting points, and requires no modification to fit. Heavy-duty steel construction and a black powder-coated finish deliver the corrosion resistance expected from a part that lives in an engine bay. This is a direct replacement, not a universal fitment. If your Camry is a 2018 through 2023 XV70, these struts fit.
Key Features and Benefits
- Precision fitment engineered for the Toyota Camry XV70 front bonnet across all model years 2018 to 2023, with no modification or adapter required at the mounting points
- Gas-charged spring mechanism provides smooth, controlled lift from closed to fully open, eliminating the effort of manually holding the bonnet up during engine bay access
- Prevents accidental hood drops during oil checks, filter changes, battery inspections, and any other routine maintenance work
- Sold as a complete 2-piece set covering both the left and right sides, allowing a full strut replacement in a single purchase rather than sourcing units separately
- Heavy-duty steel and metal component construction resists deformation and maintains consistent gas pressure across the full range of operating temperatures
- Black powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance appropriate for the heat, moisture, and chemical exposure of an engine bay environment
- Direct bolt-on installation using the existing factory mounting points on the bonnet and body, requiring no drilling, cutting, or permanent modification
- Restores the factory bonnet operation feel and eliminates the worn or collapsed strut behaviour that causes the hood to droop or fail to stay open

Installation Notes and Special Functions
Installation uses the existing factory mounting points on the Camry XV70 bonnet and body. No drilling, cutting, or permanent alteration to the vehicle is required.
To install, open the bonnet and support it safely using a prop rod or an assistant. Disconnect the old struts by releasing the clip or bolt at each mounting point, one end at a time. Attach the new struts in the same positions, securing each mounting point firmly before removing bonnet support. Test the bonnet by opening and closing several times to confirm the struts hold the hood fully open without assistance.
Basic hand tools are sufficient for this job and most owners with mechanical confidence can complete it without professional assistance. If you are not comfortable working around the engine bay or are unsure of the mounting points on your specific build year, a qualified mechanic can complete the replacement in under 30 minutes.
Do not force the struts into position. If resistance is felt at the mounting points, confirm the part number and vehicle year before proceeding.
