Detailed Description

Fitment includes 2004-2005 Mercedes-Benz E320, 2005-2006 Mercedes-Benz E500 with auto opening, 2004-2006 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG, and 2007 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG.

FCS is the brand line identified for this replacement support, and FCS 86594 is the cataloged part number used to match the correct application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring controlled opening and holding action on the supported panel
• Replacing a weak or failed lift support that no longer stays open
• Addressing slow, uneven, or incomplete lift movement
• Correcting loss of gas pressure in the original support
• Matching OE-style dimensions for Mercedes-Benz E-Class service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and auto opening configuration before ordering. Compare the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to the original support to confirm fitment. Install using the existing mounting points on the vehicle and check operation after replacement to ensure smooth travel and proper hold position.

Quality Assurance

FCS replacement components are cataloged for direct application matching, with fitment defined by vehicle platform and measured support dimensions. Confirm the listed Mercedes-Benz E320, E500, E55 AMG, or E63 AMG application and the FCS 86594 dimensions before installation.
