Product Details

FCS 86116 is specified around its operating dimensions, which are critical for proper lift support function. The compressed length, extended length, and stroke length determine how the support opens, holds, and closes the rear or access panel it serves. For Cadillac SRX owners, this part number 86116 provides a direct-fit option for the 2004-2009 model years listed in the fitment data. FCS brand line products are cataloged for vehicle-specific replacement use, making dimensional accuracy an important part of the selection process.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing lift support pressure
• Hatch, glass, or panel that will not stay open
• Slow or uneven opening action
• Loss of support due to worn internal gas charge
• Replacement for a support with matching length and stroke requirements

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation. Confirm the vehicle application as Fits 2004-2009 Cadillac SRX, N/A, and compare the mounting points and overall dimensions to the original unit. If the vehicle uses more than one support on the same opening, inspect the opposite side for wear so both sides operate consistently.

Quality Assurance

FCS 86116 is a vehicle-specific replacement part built around published dimensional specifications for the listed Cadillac SRX applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
