I also lubed up all the hook linkage because is squiked and was ruff and now when i pull the hook lever the hood actually pops forward instead of just unlocking.

This post is for you fanatics as myself with all the small things and trying to make things work better then before

Of course, you could have always just ground a little bit out of the stops on the elbows, but having new shocks is always good too I can't wait to do my trunk shocks.
