Supports and moves the hood: It bears the hood’s weight (so lifting feels easy) and lets the hood swing open/closed smoothly. No more struggling to lift a heavy hood or dealing with a stiff, stuck hinge.

Holds the hood open safely: It has a built-in “stay” or tension design that keeps the hood propped open when you check the engine (e.g., adding oil or inspecting hoses). No need to hold the hood with one hand while working.

Keeps the hood aligned: When closed, it ensures the hood sits flush with the FX’s front grille and fenders—no sagging, no gaps that let in rain or dust, and no rattling at high speeds.

Fits These Models: All Chery FX variants (confirm via VIN—no trim differences affect fit, as all FX hoods use the same right-hand hinge design).

Won’t Fit These:

Other Chery models (e.g., Tiggo 7 Pro, Arrizo 6): Their hoods are heavier/bigger, so they need stronger, differently shaped hinges—this one won’t support them.

Non-Chery vehicles: Even if it “looks similar,” the bolt hole positions and hinge length are wrong—installing it will make the hood unusable.

Check for tightness yearly: Tighten loose bolts (vibration can loosen them over time—prevents rattling).

Clean and lubricate if stiff: Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth, then add a drop of light oil to the hinge axis if it gets stiff (keeps movement smooth).

Inspect for rust: If you see rust spots, scrub them with a wire brush and touch up with rust-resistant paint (stops further damage).
