NEW OEM Tesla Cybertruck Hood Strut 1811946-00-D

Restore smooth, controlled front trunk operation with the NEW OEM Tesla Hood Strut (Part Number: 1811946-00-D), a genuine Tesla replacement component engineered specifically for the Cybertruck. This OEM hood strut is a gas-charged lift support designed to assist in opening, supporting, and controlling the movement of the Cybertruck's front trunk (frunk) lid. By providing consistent lifting force and dampened motion, the strut reduces the effort required to open the hood while helping keep it securely supported during loading, maintenance, and inspection. Constructed from high-strength steel with a precision-sealed gas-charged cylinder, this genuine Tesla component is engineered for reliable performance over thousands of operating cycles. The corrosion-resistant finish protects the assembly against moisture, road salt, dirt, and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring dependable operation throughout the life of the vehicle.

Follow Tesla-approved service procedures when replacing the hood strut.
Properly support the front trunk lid before removing the existing strut to prevent unexpected movement.
Replace retaining clips if damaged or worn during removal.
Inspect the mounting brackets, ball studs, hinge assemblies, and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before installation.
Install the strut with the correct orientation and ensure both attachment points are fully seated and securely locked.
Verify smooth hood movement throughout the full range of travel without binding or interference.
Confirm the front trunk lid remains securely supported in the open position and closes smoothly after installation.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure safe operation and proper front trunk performance.
