Product Details

The FCS brand line focuses on replacement suspension and support components for common repair applications. FCS 84321 is a liftgate lift support built around the listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length so the liftgate can open through the correct arc and remain supported during use. For shoppers searching for a Nissan Pathfinder liftgate lift support or an INFINITI QX4 liftgate strut, this part number provides a fitment-specific replacement option.

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

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Liftgate that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or slow liftgate opening action
• Liftgate support loss from age-related gas pressure decline
• Uneven or inconsistent liftgate hold position
• Difficulty accessing rear cargo area on a Nissan Pathfinder or INFINITI QX4

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year and model: Fits 1996-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, N/A and Fits 1997-1999 INFINITI QX4, N/A. Inspect the liftgate mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before replacing the support. If the liftgate uses paired supports, replace only with the correct application-specific part number, FCS 84321.
