Subject: Re: Hood springs, replace - 1992 by joeld on 2012/10/26 2:22:11 Is your hood lifting up enough to clear the latch pin when released? If not then it's possible the latch pin needs adjusting for/aft or cross car. The primary purpose of the springs is to pop the hood up high enough for the "pecker pin" to clear the "fish mouth". After that the hood struts do the work. On my 89 I had the primary rod on the drivers side, plus the short helper rod on the passenger side and it would jump up so fast that I removed the short one. Might want to try a short one in conjuction with primary, I assume yours will have the mounting plates? Joel |
