Interest check - ~Kellyefields~ custom hood damper kit

uninstalled and no bulge


installed with the plastic removed


now has a bulge when hood is closed. This happens on both side and is repeatable by installing and uninstalling.


I really want these to work but I'm not going to use unless I can get rid of the bulge.

Well, the guy above you installed it and didn't bulge so I dunno. I'd say PM or call Kelly.

Was the car on stands or a jack when you tried closing the hood. this can cause the bulge because the car is not level. otherwise I cannot explain what is happening here. If you will indulge me by removing the ball post and install it without the washer and make sure that rubber piece is removed from under the ball post so it is at the lowest possible position and see if you still have that problem. If you do this and still have the problem let me know. I have some extra ball studs of different heights that I will send you to try to fix this problem. only other thing I can think of are you the original owner of the vehicle? Has the vehicle been in an accident? has the hood been removed? To me it looks as if the top of the strut that is attached to the ball stud is riding higher than it should. Just keep me informed and we will go from there.
