Detailed Description

The FCS 86295 liftgate lift support is a body hardware replacement for Nissan Armada and Nissan Pathfinder Armada applications that use a non-power liftgate setup. The specified compressed length, extended length, and stroke length help ensure the lift support matches the vehicle’s liftgate geometry, allowing the hatch to open and hold with the correct range of motion. FCS 86295 is a practical choice when the original support no longer maintains liftgate position or moves with inconsistent resistance.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and this lift support is cataloged specifically for the Armada platform. If you are searching for a Nissan Armada liftgate lift support, Nissan Pathfinder Armada hatch support, or FCS 86295 liftgate strut replacement, this part aligns with the listed fitment and dimensions.

What It Helps Fix

• Liftgate that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or worn hatch support pressure
• Liftgate movement that feels uneven or uncontrolled
• Difficulty opening or holding the rear hatch
• Replacement needs for a failed rear lift support on Armada models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle configuration before ordering: this part fits Armada models without a power liftgate. Confirm the existing support’s length and mounting style against the listed dimensions before installation. Replace worn lift supports on a stable liftgate and support the hatch securely during service.

Quality Assurance

FCS 86295 is cataloged to the stated vehicle applications and dimensional specifications for fitment verification. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
