Detailed Description

The FCS 86100 liftgate lift support is specified for Ford Expedition models from 2003 through 2017 and is sized to match the liftgate’s operating range. With its listed compressed, extended, and stroke measurements, this support is intended to restore the liftgate’s ability to open and stay positioned with consistent resistance. If your Ford Expedition liftgate drops, feels heavy, or no longer holds itself up properly, this part number provides the replacement geometry needed for the application.

FCS 86100 is a practical choice for body repair and maintenance on the Ford Expedition, especially when the original lift support has lost pressure over time. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Solve

• Liftgate that will not stay open
• Liftgate that drops too quickly
• Weak or inconsistent rear hatch support
• Difficulty loading cargo due to poor liftgate hold
• Replacement for worn gas struts on Ford Expedition rear body hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s length and mounting style against the listed dimensions before installation. Support the liftgate securely before removing the old unit, and compare the replacement to the original Ford Expedition hardware to confirm proper fitment. For best results, inspect both lift supports if the vehicle uses a paired setup and replace any worn components that affect liftgate operation.

Quality Assurance

FCS body hardware is cataloged for direct application matching, and this part is listed specifically for 2003-2017 Ford Expedition fitment. Part number FCS 86100 should be matched to the vehicle year and liftgate configuration shown in the fitment data.
