Detailed Description

This hood lift support is engineered for the 2009-2014 Nissan Murano and is identified by part number 86176. The measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are the key dimensions that determine hood travel and holding position, making them important for proper replacement selection. If your Murano hood no longer stays open securely or drops too quickly, this FCS support provides the correct dimensional match for the listed vehicle range.

FCS 86176 is a practical replacement choice when you need a hood support that matches the original application geometry on the Nissan Murano. The FCS brand line is used for replacement body components built around vehicle-specific fitment, helping simplify selection for hood service work.

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that will not stay open
• Hood that lowers too quickly
• Weak or worn lift support performance
• Uneven hood holding during underhood access
• Replacement needs after gas strut wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support dimensions before replacement and compare them to the listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length. Confirm fitment for the 2009-2014 Nissan Murano, N/A, and inspect the hood mounting points for wear or damage before installation. For best results, replace a support when lift performance has noticeably declined or when the hood no longer holds position consistently.
