Detailed Description

The FCS 86489 is a hood lift support built for Hyundai Sonata hood service on 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 models. Its measured compressed, extended, and stroke dimensions help ensure the hood opens smoothly and stays supported during underhood access. Use this part when the original support no longer maintains lift force or the hood drops too quickly after opening. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Hood that will not stay open
• Weak or slow hood lift action
• Dropping hood during engine bay access
• Uneven hood support on a Hyundai Sonata
• Replacement need for worn FCS 86489 support hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year and hood support mounting points before installation. Compare the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to confirm proper replacement. For best results, replace supports in a controlled manner and support the hood securely during service.

Quality Assurance

FCS supplies replacement hood support components for body repair and maintenance applications. The FCS 86489 is built to match the listed Hyundai Sonata fitment and dimensional requirements for consistent hood support service.
