Freightliner Cascadia OE Hood Shock - 2018-2025 Stabilus Strut - A1721073000

Restore the smooth, effortless operation of your hood with this premium Freightliner Cascadia OE Hood Shock by Stabilus. As the Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer for Freightliner, Stabilus provides the exact dampening force and structural integrity required for the heavy hood of the Cascadia (model years 2018–2025). Whether you are performing routine maintenance on the driver side or the passenger side, this gas-charged lift support ensures safe, controlled lifting and prevents the hood from slamming or falling unexpectedly. We stock these heavily right here in our Hanover Park, Illinois warehouse to ensure lightning-fast shipping for fleets across the Midwest and nationwide.

Stabilus Quality: The Freightliner Cascadia OE Hood Shock Advantage

This Freightliner Cascadia OE Hood Shock is engineered to meet the precise technical specifications of the 2018-2025 Cascadia chassis. With an extended length reaching up to 39.25 inches, this gas-charged lift support provides maximum clearance for unobstructed engine bay access. Note: These shocks are shipped at a shorter, compressed length due to internal spring pressure; they will extend to their full range once installed and subjected to the hood's weight. Choosing a genuine Stabilus unit guarantees an exact fit and a significantly longer service life than generic aftermarket alternatives.

As we continue to build the largest inventory of commercial truck parts in Illinois, we prioritize body components that ensure driver safety during pre-trip inspections. This hood lift support is a direct professional-grade replacement for Freightliner A1721073000 and A1720496000. It is common for hood shocks to lose pressure over time; replacing them in pairs is highly recommended to ensure balanced lifting force and prevent twisting of your hood hinges.
