FCS 86440 Deck Lid Lift Support - Rear

FCS 86440 Overview

FCS 86440 is a gas-charged strut with a compressed length of 10.2 inches, an extended length of 17.17 inches, and a 6.97-inch stroke. Those dimensions are the key reference points for matching suspension travel and ride-height requirements on the correct application.

For buyers searching for an FCS 86440 strut or replacement suspension component, this part is identified by its measured body length and stroke range rather than broad fitment data. Use the listed dimensions to compare against the original unit before ordering.

Key Features

• Brand: FCS
• Part number: 86440
• Compressed length: 10.2 in.
• Extended length: 17.17 in.
• Stroke length: 6.97 in.
• Built for suspension applications that require a specific travel range

Detailed Description

FCS 86440 is a suspension strut component defined by its physical travel specifications: 10.2 inches compressed, 17.17 inches extended, and 6.97 inches of stroke. These measurements are important when comparing an OE unit to an aftermarket replacement, especially for shoppers looking up FCS 86440 fitment details or an FCS strut replacement by dimension. Because no vehicle fitment rows are provided, confirm application match by part number and measurement before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Incorrect suspension travel from a mismatched strut
• Ride-height issues caused by an out-of-spec replacement
• Fitment problems when the compressed or extended length does not match the original part
• Suspension noise or instability related to worn strut hardware
• Replacement needs for a vehicle-specific front or rear strut assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original strut’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke before installation. Compare the mounting style, overall dimensions, and application details against the removed part to confirm that FCS 86440 is the correct replacement. If the vehicle uses a matched suspension setup, inspect related components at the same time to avoid uneven performance after service.

Quality Assurance

FCS is the listed brand line for this part, and the dimensional specifications provide the primary basis for application matching. Use the part number 86440 and the measured travel values to confirm the correct suspension replacement before purchase or installation.
