FCS 84401 Hatch Lift Support

FCS 84401 Gas Charged Lift Support

FCS 84401 is a gas charged lift support built around a 10.12-inch compressed length, 16.93-inch extended length, and 6.81-inch stroke. Those dimensions are the key reference points for matching hood, hatch, liftgate, or rear glass support applications where controlled opening and holding force matter.

Key Features

• Compressed length: 10.12 inches
• Extended length: 16.93 inches
• Stroke length: 6.81 inches
• FCS brand line replacement support for dimensional matching
• Part number 84401 for catalog and fitment lookup

Product Details

FCS 84401 is intended for vehicle applications that rely on a gas strut to assist opening and maintain an elevated panel in position. The compressed and extended lengths, along with the 6.81-inch stroke, are the primary specifications used to compare this support against the original unit during replacement selection. For shoppers searching FCS 84401, FCS 84401 lift support, or a gas strut replacement by dimensions, these measurements provide the most relevant starting point.

The FCS brand line focuses on replacement suspension and support components, and this part follows that same practical approach to service fitment. If your vehicle uses a support with matching travel and overall length, this part number is the reference to verify before ordering.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Liftgate, hatch, or hood that no longer stays open
• Slow or weak opening action from a worn gas strut
• Panel drop after release due to loss of internal pressure
• Uneven support or inconsistent hold position
• Replacement need for a support with matching compressed and extended lengths

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the original support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation. Compare the mounting style, orientation, and vehicle-side location to the removed part, since those details must match the application. For vehicle-specific searches such as FCS 84401 for Honda Civic, FCS 84401 for Toyota Corolla, or FCS 84401 for Nissan Altima, verify the original unit against the measured dimensions rather than relying on appearance alone.

Quality Assurance

Use the listed dimensions and part number 84401 to confirm the replacement matches the original support specification before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
