Detailed Description

FCS 84002 is a trunk lid lift support for rear-mounted trunk applications on classic GM full-size and mid-size cars. The specified compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are the key dimensions used to match trunk lid movement and support geometry. This part number is listed for 1979-1985 Buick Century and LeSabre, 1982-1984 Buick Regal, 1980-1983 Chevrolet Caprice, 1979-1983 Chevrolet Impala, 1979-1982 Chevrolet Malibu, 1979-1985 Oldsmobile 98 and Delta 88, 1980-1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass and Cutlass Salon except Ciera, 1979-1981 Pontiac Bonneville and Catalina, and 1983 Pontiac Parisienne. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Weak or failing trunk lid support
• Trunk lid that drops instead of staying open
• Reduced lift assistance when opening the rear compartment
• Inconsistent trunk lid travel on the listed GM models
• Noise or binding associated with worn support hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the existing support before installation. Confirm rear position and vehicle fitment by year, make, and model, especially on 1980-1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass and 1979-1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon, which are listed with an exception for Ciera. Match the replacement to the trunk lid mounting points and check operation after installation to ensure smooth opening and closing.

FCS supplies replacement lift support components for automotive body applications, and this part is cataloged with exact dimensional data to support fitment verification for the listed vehicles.
