It is specified for hatch lift support use, making it a fitment-based replacement for Porsche 924, Porsche 944, and Porsche 968 rear hatch support service.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm the vehicle year and model match the listed Porsche 924, 944, or 968 application, since hatch support dimensions must align with the hatch geometry. Compare the mounting style and original part dimensions on the vehicle to ensure proper replacement selection for FCS 84278.
