Product Details

The FCS 86466 hood lift support is specified with a 15.39-inch compressed length, 27.28-inch extended length, and 11.89-inch stroke length. Those dimensions are important for hood support operation because they determine how the support compresses, extends, and holds the hood through its travel.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the existing support before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 2004-2008 Toyota Solara and compare the mounting points and orientation of the removed part to the replacement. Replace the support only after safely securing the hood in the open position.
