Detailed Description

FCS 86228 is a hood lift support designed for vehicles that use a gas-charged support to raise and hold the hood in the open position.

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that no longer stays open securely
• Weak or slow hood lift action
• Loss of original hood support pressure
• Need for a direct replacement after gas strut wear
• Improper hood opening travel caused by a worn support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm vehicle application by model year for the Lexus GX470 or Toyota 4Runner, and compare mounting points and overall length to the removed part.
