May need replacement hood struts.
Those air things that keep the hoot up, what are they called...
they seem to be failing... (edit:not important what they, see actual question below thanks )
should I go with factory ones or aftermarket ? If aftermarket any suggestions?

hood whatchamacallit? I notice you create a lot of junk threads. You could have Googled hood support, hood shocks, hood prop, hood lift at least and then asked us which one we recommend.
BTW I have those hood supports from Amazon, bought them 2 years ago. I damn near got uppercut by the hood popping up. They are very strong! I've been under the hood frequently (detailing engine and maintenance) and they are still going strong. The real test is how they perform in the winter in cold temps. They are still performing solid

Btw everyone else, anyone used Armstrong struts? The require some ball joints to be put on instead of the factory bolts, I don’t think this is an issue but let me know if you heard different. Thanks

I think @JLAWS point was that a lot of the topics @jdanielca post about have already been discussed. @jdanielca can do a quick search and find a lot of information. For example, a quick search on this topic resulted in the following thread.

Staying on point. I had Strong Arm hood struts for my beater Camry. They did not last long, but then again I was under the hood almost daily keeping the 23 year old Camry alive
