Detailed Description

This FCS hood lift support is specified for the hood application on the 2005-2008 Ford F-150 and the 2008 and 2010-2014 Lincoln Mark LT. The 84153 uses a 9.65-inch compressed length, 15.75-inch extended length, and 6.1-inch stroke length to match the hood travel required by these vehicles. If you are replacing a worn support on a Ford F-150 or Lincoln Mark LT, this part number 84153 provides the correct dimensional profile for the listed fitments.

FCS 84153 is a practical replacement choice when the hood no longer stays open securely or moves with inconsistent resistance. It is a direct service part for hood support applications on these trucks, helping restore normal hood operation during inspection and maintenance.

What It Helps Solve

• Weak or uneven hood support during service
• Loss of controlled hood lift and lower action
• Replacement need for a worn hood lift support on Ford F-150 or Lincoln Mark LT

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year and model before installation. Confirm the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support to ensure the correct replacement. For best results, replace a support that shows reduced holding force, slow movement, or visible wear.
