Detailed Description

This FCS liftgate lift support is specified for 2007-2009 Chrysler Aspen with powered liftgate, 2006-2009 Dodge Durango, and 2007-2008 Chevrolet Astra. The dimensional specs are important for matching liftgate travel and maintaining consistent opening and closing action. If you are replacing a worn rear lift support on a Dodge Durango or Chrysler Aspen, part number 84396 provides the listed fitment and size profile needed for the application.

FCS is the brand line identified for this lift support, and this part is cataloged for rear liftgate service rather than general-purpose use. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Liftgate that drops or will not stay open
• Weak or uneven rear hatch movement
• Liftgate that feels heavy to raise
• Loss of controlled opening or closing action
• Noise or instability from a worn lift support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and liftgate configuration before installation. Confirm the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support to ensure the replacement matches the rear liftgate geometry. For powered liftgate applications such as the 2007-2009 Chrysler Aspen, use the listed fitment notes to confirm the correct application before service.

Quality Assurance

FCS 84396 is cataloged as a vehicle-specific liftgate support with published dimensional specifications for fitment verification. Review the vehicle listing and measurements before installation to confirm correct application on 2006-2009 Dodge Durango, 2007-2009 Chrysler Aspen, and 2007-2008 Chevrolet Astra.
