Product Details

FCS 86518 is specified for Hyundai Elantra models from 2001 through 2006 and is identified by its measured compressed, extended, and stroke lengths. Those dimensions are important when matching suspension travel and ensuring the replacement unit operates within the correct range for the vehicle. If you are searching for an FCS 86518 Hyundai Elantra replacement, these specifications provide the key fitment and sizing details needed for selection.

FCS is the brand line for this part, and the 86518 listing focuses on exact dimensional fitment rather than broad universal coverage. This makes it a practical choice when you need a replacement built around the vehicle’s original suspension geometry. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address
