Detailed Description

The FCS 86313 hood lift support is sized for the hood opening and closing geometry used on select Infiniti I30 and Infiniti I35 models. With a 9.49-inch compressed length, 15.43-inch extended length, and 5.94-inch stroke, this support is specified to match the movement range needed for stable hood positioning. If you are replacing a worn hood strut on a 2000-2001 Infiniti I30 or a 2002-2004 Infiniti I35, FCS 86313 provides the correct dimensional profile for the application.

FCS 86313 is a practical replacement choice when the original hood support no longer holds the hood in place or no longer moves smoothly. The FCS brand line identifies this as an FCS hood lift support built for body and hood service, with fitment focused on the listed Infiniti models.

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent hood support during service
• Slow or uneven hood lift action
• Noise from a worn gas strut during hood movement
• Difficulty accessing the engine bay safely
