Key Features

Detailed Description

The FCS 84524 hood lift support is built around the specified compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to match the hood travel required on the listed vehicles. Proper support length is critical for smooth hood operation, consistent lift, and secure open-position retention. This part is a fitment-based replacement for 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima and 1996-1999 INFINITI I30 applications, making it a practical choice when servicing hood support hardware on these models. FCS 84524 is identified for the same application across both platforms, and the part number 84524 is useful when confirming the correct replacement before installation.

FCS brand line products are cataloged for straightforward replacement selection, with application-specific sizing used to match the original hood support setup rather than forcing a universal fit.

What It Is Used For

• Weak hood support that no longer holds the hood open
• Slow or uneven hood lift during opening
• Hood dropping after being raised
• Loss of controlled hood movement during service access
• Replacement of a worn support on Nissan Maxima or INFINITI I30 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s compressed and extended length before installation to confirm match-up with the FCS 84524 dimensions. Inspect the hood mounting points and ball studs for wear or damage before replacing the support. For fitment reference, this part fits 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima and fits 1996-1999 INFINITI I30. Confirm the hood opens and closes smoothly after installation and that the support seats fully at both ends.
