Detailed Description

Autotecnica NI0816593 is a specific-fit hood lift support engineered to restore original hood lift assistance on Nissan Armada, Nissan TITAN, and Nissan Pathfinder Armada applications. The high-pressure gas strut construction is built to deliver OE-level performance, while the black outer cylinder, metal housing, and piston rod assemblies are intended to handle repeated use with reduced wear.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 65470-7S000, 65471-7S000) for the same application.
