Detailed Description

FCS 84954 is a direct-fit lift support for rear hatch or decklid service on select Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models. The listed dimensions help match the support’s travel and installed length to the vehicle’s original configuration, which is important for proper opening force, holding position, and closing behavior. This part number 84954 is cataloged for 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro with spoiler and wiper equipment and 1982-1992 Pontiac Firebird rear applications with spoiler and wiper equipment. FCS is the brand line identified for this product, and this listing is focused on the specified rear application rather than a universal replacement.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing rear lift support that no longer holds the hatch or decklid open
• Slow or uneven lift action when opening the rear panel
• Loss of support force caused by worn gas pressure
• Difficulty keeping the rear opening in a stable raised position
• Replacement needs for 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird rear applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and rear configuration before ordering. Match the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original support to confirm proper fitment. For best results, compare the existing support’s mounting style and installed position with the replacement before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
