Product Details

FCS 86666 is built around the listed length specifications, which are the critical measurements used to match lift support geometry and travel. The compressed length, extended length, and stroke length help identify the correct replacement for the rear or hood/trunk support application on the listed Chevrolet Spark and Chevrolet Spark EV models. FCS 86666 is a practical OE-style service part reference when the original support no longer holds position or moves smoothly.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and the catalog data ties it directly to the Spark platform. If you are searching for a Chevrolet Spark lift support or a Chevrolet Spark EV replacement support, FCS 86666 is the part number to reference during lookup and fitment verification.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or failing support that no longer holds the panel open
• Slow, uneven, or uncontrolled lift movement
• Loss of proper extension travel on the supported panel
• Noise or binding caused by worn support hardware or internal wear
• Fitment mismatch when replacing a support on a Chevrolet Spark or Spark EV

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm the vehicle application exactly: Fits 2013-2016 Chevrolet Spark, w/ Wiper; FCS, and Fits 2014-2016 Chevrolet Spark EV, FCS. Compare the mounting points and overall travel to the removed unit to ensure the replacement matches the original geometry. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

FCS cataloged this part with exact dimensional data to support accurate replacement selection. Use the part number 86666 and the listed measurements to confirm the correct service part for the vehicle before installation.
