Product Overview

The FCS 86634 trunk lid lift support is built for vehicles that rely on a gas strut to raise and hold the trunk lid or compartment lid in the correct position. Its 8.07-inch compressed length, 13.03-inch extended length, and 4.96-inch stroke length define the operating range needed for proper lift support function on the listed Mercedes-Benz SL fitments. If you are replacing a worn trunk strut on a Mercedes-Benz SL500 rear application or a Mercedes-Benz SL600 front application, this part number provides a direct-match reference for the specified body configuration. FCS 86634 is also listed for Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG and SL65 AMG applications.

What It Helps Address

• Trunk lid that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or slow lift action when opening the compartment
• Uneven or inconsistent trunk lid support
• Loss of gas pressure in the original lift support
• Difficulty accessing the rear compartment on Mercedes-Benz SL models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm the vehicle position listed for your application, since fitment includes rear, front, and N/A entries across the supported Mercedes-Benz SL models. Compare the mounting points and overall length to the removed part to ensure the replacement matches the original geometry. FCS 86634 is a fitment-specific replacement, so matching the exact model year and position is important.

Quality Assurance

FCS focuses on replacement suspension and support components for automotive applications, and this lift support is cataloged with exact dimensional specifications for fitment verification. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
