The FCS brand line covers replacement support components for hood, hatch, and liftgate service needs. For this application, FCS 86485 is sized to match the listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length so the hood support can be selected against the original vehicle geometry. It is a practical choice for Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango hood support replacement when the existing strut has lost pressure or no longer holds the hood securely.

What It Helps Fix

• Hood that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or slow hood lift action
• Uneven hood support during underhood service
• Noise or instability from a worn gas strut
• Difficulty opening or holding the hood in place

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year, model, and hood support length before installation. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original support to confirm proper replacement on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee WK, or Dodge Durango. Inspect the mounting points for wear before installing the new support.
