Detailed Description

FCS 86024 is a hood lift support for the front hood position on select BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

What This Part Helps Address

• Hood drop during engine bay access
• Uneven or inconsistent hood lift action
• Reduced support on aging BMW and Mercedes-Benz hood struts
• Replacement needs for front hood lift support service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm front position and exact vehicle fitment by year, make, and model, especially on BMW 5 Series, 6 Series, M5, M6, and Mercedes-Benz SL500 applications. Compare the mounting points and overall length to the removed unit to ensure the correct match for your hood.
