Detailed Description

This FCS hood lift support, part number 84755, is a direct-fit body component for select GM full-size platforms. It is listed for 1991-1996 Buick Roadmaster, 1991-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala, 1991-1994 Chevrolet Commercial Chassis, and 1991-1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser applications, with front-position coverage where specified. The measured compressed, extended, and stroke lengths help match the hood’s opening geometry for consistent support.

FCS 84755 is a practical replacement choice when servicing a worn hood strut on a Buick Roadmaster, Chevrolet Caprice, or Chevrolet Impala. It also applies to the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser and Chevrolet Commercial Chassis listings shown in the fitment data.

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or slow hood lift action
• Loss of support after gas strut wear
• Difficulty accessing the engine bay safely
• Uneven hood opening due to reduced lift force

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and hood position before installation. Compare the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to confirm the replacement matches the original geometry. Inspect mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before installing the new support.

Quality Assurance

FCS manufactures replacement chassis and body components for vehicle-specific applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
