Detailed Description

FCS 86325 is a hood lift support for front hood applications on the Pontiac Torrent and Suzuki XL-7 within the listed model years. The measured compressed and extended lengths, along with the 7.6-inch stroke, define the support’s operating range and help ensure proper hood positioning for the specified vehicles. This part number, 86325, is a practical replacement choice when the original hood support no longer holds the hood at the correct height.

FCS is the brand line for this hood lift support, and this product is cataloged for direct vehicle-specific use rather than universal application. For shoppers searching for a 2006-2009 Pontiac Torrent hood lift support or a 2007-2009 Suzuki XL-7 hood strut replacement, this listing matches the confirmed fitment data.

What It Helps Address

• Hood that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or worn lift support pressure
• Uneven hood opening effort
• Loss of stable hood support during service checks
• Replacement need for a failed front hood strut on Pontiac Torrent or Suzuki XL-7

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and hood position before ordering. Confirm that the existing support matches the listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length for proper replacement. Install on the front hood location only where specified in the fitment data, and inspect the mounting points for wear or damage before final installation.

Quality Assurance

FCS catalogs this hood lift support for the listed vehicle applications and dimensional requirements. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
