Detailed Description

The FCS 86452 hood lift support is sized for the hood geometry used on 2005-2012 Toyota Avalon vehicles. Its extended and compressed lengths, along with the 11.42-inch stroke, are the key measurements that determine proper hood opening height and controlled closing action. If your Toyota Avalon hood no longer stays raised or drops too quickly, this replacement support addresses the worn gas strut directly. The FCS 86452 part number is also useful when cross-checking catalog listings for the same application.

FCS is the brand line identified for this product, and this hood lift support is cataloged specifically for the Avalon platform rather than as a universal part.
