Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation to confirm match-up with FCS 86372. Compare the vehicle’s hood mounting points and catalog position listing against your current part before removal. For best results, replace a worn support when hood movement becomes uneven or the hood no longer stays open securely.
