Similar to the doors and windows on your house, the engine hood on your Nissan relies on hinges to open and close. And like the door and window hinges in your home, a damaged or broken Hood Hinge (Right) can make opening and closing your hood difficult. Ensure the engine hood on your Nissan is operating correctly with a Hood Hinge (Right) replacement from genuine Nissan Parts.
A Hood Hinge (Right) on your Nissan's engine hood can be easy to ignore, especially if you don't open your engine hood often. But just because your hood usually stays closed and latched doesn't mean a damaged Hood Hinge (Right) should be left alone! If you have a loose, damaged, or worn Hood Hinge (Right), you run the risk of your hood lifting or separating from your Nissan from the force of air while you're driving — whether you're driving highway speeds or taking it a bit slower.
If you have one hood hinge that is broken and it leads to your hood shifting while you drive, the other hood hinge on your Nissan may get damaged as well, resulting in additional repairs.
To find out if your Nissan has a damaged Hood Hinge (Right), pop your vehicle's hood. Feel for resistance, and check if the hood opens too much or not enough. Look closely at your Hood Hinge (Right), and inspect it for wear, missing pieces that could have become loose and fallen out, or visible cracks. Additionally, if the hood sounds squeaky when you're opening or closing it, it may be a sign of a worn Hood Hinge (Right).
Is it time to replace a worn out Hood Hinge (Right) on your Nissan? Purchase a genuine Hood Hinge (Right) from Nissan Parts that's designed to fit your Nissan model.
This genuine part is made to fit your Nissan 370Z. See the What This Fits tab for more details.
