Detailed Description

The FCS 84536 is a hood lift support engineered for select Lexus GS300, GS400, and GS430 vehicles. Its measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are the key dimensions that determine hood travel and holding position, making it important to match the replacement support to the original application. If your Lexus GS300 hood no longer stays open or drops too quickly, this part number provides a direct replacement path for the specified model years. The same applies to Lexus GS400 and Lexus GS430 vehicles listed in the fitment data, including the 2005 Lexus GS300 application noted as valid through 01/2005.

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

What It Helps Fix

• Hood that will not stay open
• Weak or slow hood lift action
• Hood dropping unexpectedly during service
• Uneven hood support on select Lexus GS models
• Worn gas strut performance from age and use

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and production note before ordering, especially for the 2005 Lexus GS300 application listed through 01/2005. Compare the original support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to confirm the replacement matches the hood travel requirements. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hood hardware for wear before installation, and replace the support only after confirming the hood is securely held in the open position.

Quality Assurance

FCS supplies replacement body hardware for specific vehicle applications, and this hood lift support is listed with exact dimensional specifications to support accurate fitment on the covered Lexus GS300, GS400, and GS430 models.
