BMW M5 5 7 Series Front Hood Gas Struts Set (Lift Supports) 51237347402

Yes. A heavy hood is the first symptom of gas pressure loss. It means the struts are no longer assisting you in the lifting process and are right on the verge of total failure. It is best to replace them preventatively before they lose the ability to hold the hood up entirely.

It is highly recommended. Because both struts have endured the exact same amount of heat cycles and wear, if one has failed, the other is mathematically right at the end of its lifespan. Furthermore, installing one strong new strut alongside one weak old strut puts uneven twisting stress on the aluminum hood hinges. Always replace them as a matched pair!

Not at all. Replacing hood struts is one of the easiest DIY jobs on a BMW. All you need is a small flathead screwdriver to pry back the metal retaining "C-clips" on the top and bottom ball joints. Once the clips are released, the old strut pops right off, and the new strut simply snaps onto the factory ball studs. (Pro Tip: Have a friend hold the hood securely all the way open while you swap them!)
