Detailed Description

The FCS 84221R is a tailgate lift support for the right side of the vehicle, engineered for Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback rear liftgate service. The listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length help confirm the correct physical fit before installation, which is especially important when replacing a worn support that no longer holds the tailgate in position or opens smoothly. If you are searching for a Subaru Legacy right tailgate lift support or a Subaru Outback right lift support, this part number provides a direct application match.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and 84221R is the reference number to use when matching the correct rear support for the specified Subaru applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

• Uneven or weak rear hatch movement
• Difficulty opening or closing the tailgate smoothly
• Noise or binding from a worn rear support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and right-side position before ordering. Compare the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to FCS 84221R to confirm the correct replacement for your Subaru Legacy or Subaru Outback. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before installing the new support.

Quality Assurance

FCS 84221R is cataloged as a body tailgate and midgate lift support with application-specific dimensions for the listed Subaru vehicles. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s year and right-side location to ensure proper replacement selection.
