Fitment and Product Details

This FCS 86332 hood lift support is specified for Acura MDX models across the 2001-2006 range listed in the fitment data. The measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are the key dimensions that determine hood support travel and mounting position, helping ensure the replacement matches the original lift support profile on the vehicle.

FCS 86332 is a practical replacement for worn hood struts that no longer hold the hood securely or move with consistent resistance. For Acura MDX owners searching for a hood lift support for 2005-2006 Acura MDX, front, or a replacement hood strut for 2001-2004 Acura MDX, this part provides the dimensional match needed for service work on the hood assembly.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Hood drops after being raised
• Weak or uneven hood support force
• Hood that no longer stays open during service
• Slow or inconsistent hood lift action
• Noise or binding from a worn lift support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the removed support before installation. Confirm the mounting orientation and vehicle application for your Acura MDX, since the fitment data lists both front and N/A positions across the supported years. Inspect the hood hinges and mounting points for wear before replacing the support.

Quality Assurance

FCS manufactures replacement suspension and support components for service applications, and this hood lift support is built around the listed dimensional specifications for the stated Acura MDX fitments. Part number 86332 should be matched to the vehicle year and position shown in the fitment data before installation.
