Detailed Product Information

The FCS 86261 is a liftgate lift support built for the rear hatch on the Kia Sorento. Its compressed, extended, and stroke measurements define the operating range needed to support liftgate movement and hold the hatch in position during opening and closing. For shoppers searching for a 2011 Kia Sorento liftgate support, 2012 Kia Sorento hatch support, or 2013 Kia Sorento rear lift support, this part number provides a fitment-specific replacement option.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and 86261 is the reference number to use when matching the correct liftgate support for the listed Sorento applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

Verify the vehicle year and model before ordering, since this support is listed for 2011-2013 Kia Sorento applications only. Compare the existing support length and mounting points to FCS 86261 before removal, and replace the liftgate support when the hatch no longer stays open or requires extra effort to lift.
