Like the doors and windows in your home, the engine hood on your Nissan uses hinges to open and shut. And similar to the hinges on your home's doors and windows, a damaged, broken, or old Hood Hinge (Left) can make closing and opening your engine hood troublesome. Make sure your Nissan engine hood works like it's supposed to with a genuine replacement Hood Hinge (Left) from Nissan Parts.
A Hood Hinge (Left) on your Nissan can be easy to ignore, especially if you don't open your engine hood often. But just because the hood remains closed most of the time doesn't mean an old or damaged Hood Hinge (Left) should be ignored! If a Hood Hinge (Left) is broken, loose, or worn, you run the risk of your hood lifting or separating from your Nissan from the force of the wind while you drive — no matter if you're on the highway or a neighborhood road.
If one of the hood hinges on your Nissan is faulty and it causes the hood to shift while you drive, your other hood hinge can become damaged in the process, resulting in additional repairs.
To check if your Nissan requires a new Hood Hinge (Left) replacement, open your vehicle's hood. Check for resistance, and see if the hood won't open all the way or opens too much. Look closely at your Hood Hinge (Left), and inspect it for wear, missing pieces that could have become loose and fallen out, or any other visible damage. If the hinges or the hood squeaks while you're opening it, it could be an indication of a worn out Hood Hinge (Left).
