Detailed Description

The FCS 86527 is a tailgate lift support for the Audi Allroad Quattro rear liftgate application. Its measured compressed, extended, and stroke lengths help match the tailgate travel needed for proper opening and closing action. If your Audi Allroad Quattro tailgate no longer stays up or moves unevenly, this replacement support addresses worn gas strut performance with the correct fitment for 2003-2005 models. FCS 86527 is a practical replacement choice when you need a tailgate lift support for Audi Allroad Quattro vehicles from these model years.

What It Helps Solve

  • Tailgate that drops instead of staying open
  • Weak or slow lift support movement
  • Uneven tailgate opening and closing effort
  • Loss of support from a worn gas strut
  • Difficulty accessing the rear cargo area

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2003-2005 Audi Allroad Quattro before ordering. Compare the existing support’s installed length and travel to the listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length for confirmation. Replace the lift support only after safely securing the tailgate in the open position and checking the mounting points for wear or damage.

FCS tailgate lift supports are cataloged for direct-fit replacement use, and part number 86527 is listed for the Audi Allroad Quattro application shown above. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
