Detailed Description

The FCS 84116 hood lift support is specified for the BMW X5 and uses a compact 7.24-inch compressed length, 11.38-inch extended length, and 4.13-inch stroke length to match the hood’s support travel. These dimensions are important for maintaining proper hood opening height and controlled movement during service or inspection. If you are replacing a worn hood strut on a 2000-2006 BMW X5, this part number 84116 provides the fitment and sizing needed for that application.

FCS brand line products are organized for vehicle-specific replacement needs, and this hood lift support follows that approach for the BMW X5 platform. It is a practical replacement when the original support no longer holds the hood securely or opens with consistent resistance.

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent hood lift assistance
• Need for replacement on a worn BMW X5 hood support
• Reduced control when opening or closing the hood
• Service access issues caused by failing hood struts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year before ordering and confirm the existing support matches the listed dimensions. Replace the hood support only after safely securing the hood in the open position. Compare the mounting points and overall travel to the original unit before installation on the BMW X5.

Quality Assurance

FCS 84116 is built as a vehicle-specific replacement hood lift support for the listed BMW X5 applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
