Product Overview
FCS 84346 is a hood lift support for Volkswagen models that need a specific compressed length of 11.46 inches, an extended length of 19.72 inches, and an 8.27-inch stroke. Those dimensions matter for hood height, opening travel, and controlled support during service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. For buyers searching for a Volkswagen Golf hood lift support, Volkswagen Jetta hood strut, or Volkswagen Cabrio hood support, this part number 84346 matches the listed fitment and dimensional requirements.
What It Helps Address
- Hood that drops instead of staying open
- Weak or worn lift support with reduced holding force
- Uneven hood opening travel
- Difficulty accessing the engine bay for routine service
- Noise or instability from a failing hood support
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle year, model, and chassis note before ordering, especially for the 2005 Volkswagen Jetta application limited to chassis # VIN 9M5149999. Compare the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to FCS 84346 before installation. Confirm the hood opens and closes smoothly after replacement.
Quality Assurance
FCS supplies replacement hood lift supports for specific vehicle applications, and this part is listed with exact dimensional specifications to support proper fitment on the covered Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Cabrio models.
