Detailed Description

FCS 86513 is specified for the 2007-2013 Acura MDX and uses the listed compressed, extended, and stroke measurements to support proper fitment. Those dimensions are important when replacing a lift support because they determine the travel range and installed length needed for the vehicle’s rear hatch or liftgate setup. If you are searching for an Acura MDX lift support replacement, FCS 86513 provides a fitment-specific option for the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 model years.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and FCS 86513 follows the same application-focused approach buyers expect when selecting a replacement support by vehicle and measurement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Rear hatch or liftgate that will not stay open
• Weak or slow lift support movement
• Loss of holding force in the open position
• Uneven or inconsistent hatch operation
• Replacement need after gas strut wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the removed support before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 2007-2013 Acura MDX and compare the mounting points and overall dimensions to the original part. For best results, replace worn supports when the hatch begins to drop or no longer opens smoothly.

Quality Assurance

FCS 86513 is cataloged with vehicle-specific dimensions and fitment data for the Acura MDX platform, helping ensure the replacement matches the required application.
