Product Details

The FCS brand line focuses on replacement components for common vehicle service needs, and this hood lift support follows that approach with application-specific dimensions for the Ford Thunderbird. The measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are the key specifications that determine hood travel and support force geometry, making them important for proper fit and operation. Part number 84154 is listed for 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird models and is intended for hood support replacement where the original unit has weakened or lost pressure.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
