Detailed Description

The FCS 86164 is a hood lift support for Buick Enclave models from 2008 through 2017.

FCS 86164 is a practical replacement choice when you need a hood lift support matched to the vehicle’s original dimensions. The FCS brand line identifies this as an FCS hood support application, and the part number 86164 helps confirm the correct listing for the 2008-2017 Buick Enclave.

What It Helps Solve

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm the application as Fits 2008-2017 Buick Enclave, N/A, and compare the mounting points and orientation to the removed unit. For best results, replace a support when hood lift force has noticeably declined or when the hood no longer stays open reliably.
