FCS 84670 Hatch Lift Support

Saab 900 Trunk Lid Gas Strut

FCS 84670 is a gas strut for the spoiler-equipped trunk lid on select Saab 900 models. It is built around the specified compressed length, extended length, and stroke to match the lift support geometry used on this application.

Compatible with 1979-1994 Saab 900 spoiler-equipped trunk lid applications, this FCS lift support is sized for direct replacement use on the rear trunk lid. The FCS line focuses on application-specific fitment, and part number 84670 is listed for the Saab 900 platform across the covered model years.

Key Features

• Compressed length: 11.81 in.
• Extended length: 19.57 in.
• Stroke length: 7.76 in.
• Application-specific fitment for spoiler-equipped trunk lid use
• Rear trunk lid support for Saab 900 models
• FCS part number 84670

Detailed Description

This FCS gas strut is specified for the rear trunk lid on 1979-1994 Saab 900 vehicles with a spoiler-equipped trunk lid. The listed compressed length of 11.81 inches, extended length of 19.57 inches, and 7.76-inch stroke define the operating range needed for proper lift support function. If you are replacing a worn Saab 900 trunk support, FCS 84670 provides the dimensional match needed for this application.

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

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing trunk lid support
• Trunk lid that drops after opening
• Reduced lift assistance on spoiler-equipped rear lids
• Inconsistent trunk opening and holding force
• Noise or rough movement from a worn gas strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1979-1994 Saab 900 with a spoiler-equipped trunk lid before ordering. Compare the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke to FCS 84670 to confirm the correct replacement. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear before installing the new strut.

Quality Assurance

FCS lists this part by specific application and dimensional specifications for the Saab 900 rear trunk lid. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s year, body configuration, and existing support measurements before installation.
