Detailed Description

FCS 84289 is a hood lift support engineered for the Cadillac DeVille hood application listed above. The compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are the key dimensions that determine how the support holds the hood open and how it compresses when the hood is closed. For buyers searching for a 1997-1999 Cadillac DeVille hood lift support or an FCS 84289 replacement, these measurements provide the fitment reference needed for a direct application match.

The FCS brand line identifies this as an FCS replacement component for body and hood service. Use it when the existing hood support has lost pressure, no longer holds the hood securely, or moves unevenly during opening and closing. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Hood drops after being raised on a 1997-1999 Cadillac DeVille
• Weak or inconsistent hood support during service access
• Hood that no longer stays open at the proper height
• Slow or uneven hood lift action
• Replacement of a worn FCS 84289 hood lift support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 1997-1999 Cadillac DeVille and match the existing mounting points and hood support orientation before removal. Replace the support only after safely securing the hood in the open position.
