Detailed Description

FCS 86288 is a hood lift support for 2006-2010 Hummer H3 and 2009-2010 Hummer H3T applications. The specified compressed length of 9.29 inches, extended length of 14.8 inches, and stroke length of 5.51 inches help ensure the support matches the hood travel required by the vehicle. If you are replacing a worn hood strut on a Hummer H3 or Hummer H3T, this part number provides a fitment-specific solution for the listed positions. FCS 86288 is a practical choice when the original support no longer holds the hood securely or opens with consistent resistance.

FCS is the brand line identified for this hood lift support, and this part is cataloged under FCS 86288 for easy cross-checking during replacement selection. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that will not stay open
• Weak or slow hood lift action
• Uneven hood support during service access
