Product Details

FCS 86239 is specified by its extended and compressed lengths, along with stroke length, so you can match the support geometry to the original application. Those measurements are critical when replacing a worn lift support on a Honda Insight, since the wrong length can affect opening height, closing effort, and panel support. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

The FCS brand line is used for replacement suspension and support components that follow application-specific sizing. For shoppers comparing FCS 86239 against other Honda Insight lift support options, the listed dimensions and vehicle fitment are the primary reference points.
