Product Details

FCS 84463 is a hood lift support engineered around the measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length needed to support the hood in the open position. Those dimensions are important for maintaining correct lift height, hood balance, and consistent operation when replacing a worn or weak strut. This part is listed for the hood position and is compatible with the specific Oldsmobile, Buick, Pontiac, and Chevrolet models shown in the fitment data. If you are searching for a hood strut for a 1993-1996 Buick Regal, 1993-1996 Pontiac Grand Prix, or 1993-1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, FCS 84463 is the cataloged replacement.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and this listing is focused on the hood lift support application rather than a universal gas strut. Use the vehicle fitment details to confirm the correct model year before ordering.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Hood drops after being opened
• Weak or failing hood support pressure
• Hood that no longer stays raised securely
• Uneven or inconsistent hood lift effort
• Replacement for a worn hood strut on the listed GM models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, and model against the fitment list before installation. Compare the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to confirm the replacement matches the original geometry. Inspect the hood mounting points and body-side attachment areas for wear or damage before installing the new support. For best results, replace a support only after confirming the hood is properly secured during service.
