Same issue being that yours are cracked as well, or also have the creaking sounds too? Lmk what you end up replacing them with

cracking.

so this picture is from last year and probably after 50k (at least) of driving on these. After rethinking maybe yours are failing pretty fast if they are only a few years old. This was daily driving and a handful of track days.

You can see a crack developing.


overall the car has done 50k miles (realistically I think closer to 60-70ish) on these and don’t squeak. They did however squeak for the first 500 miles or so.

i probably will replace them soon with new units as i love the feel… compared to stock. Don’t remember how the poly ones did in comparison

One of the two hood lock assemblies. You'll want to figure out how it broke off and probably get a new assembly before driving the car.

Amazing. Thank you!

Can anyone identify this part? Dropped the belly pan for unrelated maintenance and found it sitting in there.

I have the same issue on mine (not as bad), however mine are about 3-4 years old at least. I need to replace them fairly soon.
