Product Details

FCS 84051 is built around the dimensional requirements of the rear gas strut application on the BMW Z3. The compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are the critical measurements used to match the unit to the vehicle’s rear support geometry and travel range. For shoppers searching for a rear gas strut for a 1999-2002 BMW Z3, or an FCS 84051 rear strut replacement, these specifications provide the key fitment reference points.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and 84051 is the catalog number used to identify the correct rear application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear support that no longer holds position correctly
• Loss of controlled movement in the rear lift or support assembly
• Incorrect replacement length for the BMW Z3 rear application
• Wear-related mismatch between compressed and extended travel
• Need for a direct-fit rear gas strut by part number 84051

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1999-2002 BMW Z3 with rear fitment before ordering. Compare the existing unit’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to FCS 84051 to confirm dimensional match. Use the rear position only, and match the replacement to the original application details for proper fitment.

Quality Assurance

FCS 84051 is cataloged with defined fitment and dimensional specifications for the rear BMW Z3 application. Confirming the part number and measurements before installation helps ensure the correct replacement is selected for the vehicle.
