Product Details

FCS 86694 is a tailgate lift support for Nissan TITAN trucks across the 2004-2015 model years. The measured compressed, extended, and stroke lengths are important for matching the support to the tailgate geometry and travel range. If your Nissan TITAN tailgate no longer opens or closes with the same control, this replacement support addresses worn gas strut performance and helps maintain smoother tailgate operation. The FCS 86694 part number is also useful when cross-checking catalog listings for the same application.

FCS is the brand line identified for this product, and this tailgate lift support follows the same catalog designation for straightforward identification during parts lookup. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Solve

• Tailgate drops too quickly when opened
• Tailgate feels heavy or difficult to control
• Worn support no longer holds the tailgate in position
• Uneven or inconsistent tailgate movement
• Loss of smooth opening and closing action

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm the application as Fits 2004-2015 Nissan TITAN, N/A and compare the mounting points and overall dimensions to the removed part. Inspect the tailgate hinges and attachment points for wear before installing the new support, and cycle the tailgate carefully after replacement to confirm proper movement.
