Steeda S550 Mustang Hood Strut Kit All (2015-2021)

The S550 Mustang Hood Strut Kit was purchased for my 2019 Bullitt to replace the prop rod. The right side installation was easy with only drilling a hole in the battery cover to be the labor intensive part if you want to call it that. The left side gave me some issues in that trying to tighten it with sweating fingers the bolt continued to not set properly and when I thought it was tight enough and I placed the strut into place the bolt slipped and the had to try to tighten the bolt with the strut attached. That whole experience on the left side took about 30 minutes I thought it would be the easiest to put into place. I think if the directions had said to push the bolt as far to the left edge as possible to hold into place that would have helped. Overall, one of the best mods for a vehicle. The hood lifts itself up after you clear the latch and holds in place, nice.

These are a great addition to my 50th Anniversary Mustang GT LE. Easy to install and not having to touch the old prop rod which can be very hot if you have to open the hood after driving it.

Very nice quality brackets, and struts. Super easy to install and no more prop rod really cleans up the view underhood.

Good quality and easy installation with hand tools. No fitment problems.

I recently purchased the Steeda hood struts for my 2019 Mustang GT. The install was easily done by myself and didn't require a hood alignment following installation. The whole process took about 45 min and the struts look great and function as advertised. The best part was that I could do the job by myself and it did not require anyone else to help hold the hood or realign it following the install. Thanks Steeda!

Easy install on my 2019 Mustang GT Premium. Solid hardware, far superior to the Ford Performance set I had on, but had to remove due to the fender brackets never staying in place. The hood brackets are bigger, longer and support better. The fender brackets are a better design, add a little bit of threadlock and they are solid! The hood opens and closes smoothly and all gaps are tight and right. Looks killer! Spend the few xtra dollars and you wont be sorry! Great job Steeda!

A good strut that holds my hood up. I've added a scoop to my hood and this strut has been the only one that will keep it up and off my head. Thank you Steeda.

easy install, struts are strong and have no problem holding the hood securely in the up position.

Hood struts were easy to install. I didn't realize that the instructions and hole guide were online. Once printed it was just reading the instructions and viewing the install video. The washer hose hole in the part that does on the hood was a little too big. I took a small hose cut a small section and inserted it with hose clip.

Easy and straightforward install. No more worrying about the prop rod when the hood is up at car shows when a wind comes through.

First the quality of these struts and mounting brackets is very solid feeling. I like the overall design (only with a minor flaw detailed below), and that the hood brackets are a bit larger to reduce hood flex. It appears to be very solid, they lift very well, and I hope to get many many years out of these. The minor flaw may be partly due to my installation, but I reinstalled them and it still happens... there is slight metal to metal contact of the fender bracket, and hood. So I have a couple little marks on the underside hood paint. I've put some vinyl bumpers I got from Home Depot there to hopefully help prevent that rub, and these appear to be working well. I'm unsure how this should be resolved, but perhaps some kinda bumper pad provided would suffice for the time being. I need to investigate if there's some kinda hood adjustment I could do maybe? I'm unsure right now. Other than that minor flaw, they are still good struts, and I do recommend them based on the beefier hood bracket alone... but they aren't 5/5 stars sadly with the fender bracket rubbing the underside of the hood.

The only difference to install on the 2019 Bullitt was the hole for the washer fluid line does not line up with the extra bracket hole. The existing washer fluid line hole is further forward of the bracket so it could not be moved without drilling a new hole that would line up with the hole in the bracket. Did not need to move it. (and no I did not install the bracket backwards, Steeda emblem cutouts in the bracket furthest forward toward front, piston attach pins facing in on top bracket and extra hole bracket on passenger side.)

Very easy installation, superb quality, and a factory like appearance. I installed these in about 25 minutes and I am more than impressed. You don't really pay attention to it until its gone, but the prop rod is an obstacle while working in the engine bay. I love that these eliminate it and the brackets provide some extra support for the hood. Looks and performs as a factory installed option would.

These are the best for 2015 mustangs.

The struts kick ass and beat the Ford Performance ones by a MILE!!!!! All of your hardware is 3-5 times more sturdy than theirs. The hood struts are stronger and open the hood better, too. Again, another homerun product by Steeda!

I was taking pics of my engine bay about a month ago and was getting sick of having someone open the hood due to the hood prop always getting in the pics. I did some shopping around for hood struts and found a few different brands available. In the end I decided to go with the Steeda hood struts and I couldn't be any happier! They were a few more dollars than comparable models, but I soon saw how incomparable they really are. With most hood struts you will need at least 2 people to install, make sure the hood is aligned perfectly, and always have to make sure the points of the hood don't fall back. Well put all that aside when you purchase this set, I was able to do the complete install myself in about 10 min. The struts mount to the hood while the hood is still raised, no need to take all bolts off. I love the detail of the Steeda emblem on the struts. Best of all is just how clean they look and the obvious of how much happier I am now popping my hood! I would definitely recommend these to any of my S550 brothers/sisters out there! :)

I just finished the Steeda Hood Strut installation, it looks and functions great!! The Finish, quality and design are exceptional, I'm so glad I purchased these! Installation was easy and the design seems very well thought out compared to some of the other competitors struts. Initially I was on the fence post on these, but now I'm glad I purchased these due to the high level of product quality/design ! Thanks for all the Info Dave, It made my purchase easy!
