Product Details

FCS 84525 is a hood lift support built around the specified compressed length of 9.49 inches, extended length of 14.06 inches, and 4.57 inches of stroke. Those dimensions are important for maintaining proper hood opening height and controlled support during service. This part is listed for 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator and 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette applications, making it a fitment-specific replacement for vehicles that use this support geometry. The FCS brand line identifies this as an FCS replacement component, and the part number 84525 is useful when confirming the correct hood support for your vehicle.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Hood that no longer stays open on its own
• Slow or uneven hood lift during opening
• Loss of support caused by weakened gas pressure
• Hood movement that makes underhood service harder
• Need for a direct replacement on listed Navigator and Corvette applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle application before ordering by matching the year, make, and model to the fitment list. Confirm the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support to ensure proper hood travel. After installation, cycle the hood several times to check opening height and support action. Use care when removing the old support so the hood is properly secured during service.
