Ford Explorer Hood Hinge

The Hood Hinge for Ford Explorer is made to allow the heavy front panel of the SUV to easily pivot and then securely close when necessary. This gives the owners safe access to the engine bay. Each Hood Hinge is bolted to both the cowl and the hood. This means it works as a fulcrum to help the weight and control the metal when it opens and closes. Highly importantly, that metal doesn't just flap open or pop at speed. The owners of the Ford model of the Explorer find that a clean Hood Hinge lets equipment load easily and close tightly. Each Explorer is equipped with a pair of Hood Hinge units, one on each side, so the load is shared and ensures the closure sits evenly across the latch line. Ford model years may have retained the basic two hinge schemes. Nevertheless, the continued onslaught of spray, heat, and vibration loosens or rusts the joints, leaving lift up and shut down feeling stiff or gritty. It is common for Ford parts to retail low before labor, allowing an aging Explorer to regain the reliable feel of its original Hood Hinge assembly.

We provide a wide range of Ford Explorer Hood Hinge at the optimal prices. If you need Ford Explorer Hood Hinge, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your doorstep with a fast delivery service.
