Key Features

• Part number 86667 for direct identification and ordering
• Compressed length: 10.98 inches

Detailed Description

FCS 86667 is specified for Fiat 500 models where the rear lift support geometry requires the listed compressed and extended lengths. The stroke length of 6.85 inches defines the usable travel range, helping ensure the strut matches the vehicle’s mounting and movement requirements. If you are sourcing a rear suspension gas strut for a 2012-2017 Fiat 500 or a 2018 Fiat 500, this part number provides the dimensional match needed for the application.

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

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn rear gas strut on a Fiat 500
• Restoring proper lift support travel on the rear hatch or liftgate application
• Addressing weak, slow, or inconsistent support action
• Correcting fitment issues caused by incorrect strut length or stroke
• Matching OE-style dimensions for the specified Fiat 500 platform

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing strut’s compressed length, extended length, and mounting position before installation. Confirm the vehicle year and position against the fitment listing for the Fiat 500, since 2012-2017 models are listed for rear use and 2018 is listed as N/A. Compare the original part number and mounting points to FCS 86667 before removal.
