Detailed Description

This FCS lift support is sized for the Volvo V50 rear hatch application and is identified by part number 86632. The listed compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are the key dimensions used to confirm proper fit and lift range for the vehicle.

FCS 86632 is also a useful search term when cross-checking catalog listings for the same vehicle application.

FCS is the brand line shown for this part, and this listing follows that product identification exactly. If you are replacing a worn support on a 2005-2009 Volvo V50, matching the dimensional specs is essential for correct hatch operation and alignment.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring liftgate support on a Volvo V50 with weak or failed struts
• Addressing a hatch that drops unexpectedly
• Replacing a support that no longer holds the rear opening in place
• Correcting uneven or inconsistent liftgate movement
• Reducing strain when opening and closing the rear hatch

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the removed support before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 2005-2009 Volvo V50 and compare the mounting points and overall length to the original part. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
