Detailed Description

The FCS 86167 trunk lid lift support is specified for the rear compartment lid on 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu models. Its measured compressed, extended, and stroke lengths help ensure the support matches the trunk lid travel needed for proper opening height and controlled closing. If your Malibu trunk lid no longer stays up or drops too quickly, this replacement support addresses the worn gas strut that commonly causes those symptoms. The FCS 86167 part number is also useful when verifying the correct replacement during body hardware service.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year and trunk lid application before ordering. Compare the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to confirm the correct replacement. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before installing the new support. After installation, cycle the trunk lid several times to confirm smooth operation and proper hold-open performance.
