Detailed Description

This hood lift support is specified for vehicles that use the listed compressed, extended, and stroke dimensions to hold the hood in the open position. FCS 86258 is a practical replacement for worn or weak hood supports on Porsche and BMW models where the original support no longer maintains proper lift or controlled movement. If you are searching for a hood lift support for a 2013-2016 Porsche Cayenne, a 2014 Porsche 911, or a BMW Z4 hood support, this part number matches the cataloged applications.

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

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent hood lift assistance
• Slow or uneven hood opening and closing
• Replacement need for worn gas-charged hood support hardware
• Restoration of proper hood hold-open function on listed Porsche and BMW models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and hood support dimensions before ordering. Match the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to confirm fitment for your Porsche or BMW application. Replace the support only after confirming the mounting style and position listed for the vehicle.
