Key Features

• Hood lift support for select Saab body applications
• Compressed length: 16.85 inches

Product Details

This hood lift support is specified for the hood area and is sized to provide the correct extension and compression range for the listed vehicles. For Saab 9-3 and Saab 9-3X owners, the FCS 86567 helps restore consistent hood support behavior when the original support no longer holds the hood properly. The part number 86567 should be matched to the vehicle year, model, and position shown in the fitment data before installation.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hood that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent hood support force
• Slow or uneven hood lift action
• Difficulty keeping the hood open during service checks
• Wear-related loss of gas strut performance

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle application, position, and length specifications before replacement. Compare the existing support’s compressed and extended dimensions to the FCS 86567 measurements to confirm proper fitment on the Saab 9-3 or Saab 9-3X listed. Inspect hood mounting points and attachment locations for wear or damage prior to installation.
