Product Description

FCS 86797 is a hood lift support for Lexus IS sedan hood applications, including 2006-2017 Lexus IS350, 2006-2015 Lexus IS250, 2016-2017 Lexus IS300, and 2016 Lexus IS200t. The measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are important for matching hood geometry and maintaining proper lift support operation. If you are replacing a worn hood strut on a Lexus IS300, IS350, IS200t, or IS250, this part number provides a fitment-specific replacement option.

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

What It Helps Address

• Hood that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent hood support force
• Slow hood lift action during service
• Need for a direct replacement hood strut on listed Lexus IS models
• Reduced access to the engine bay during maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm the vehicle year and model match the fitment list for FCS 86797, especially on Lexus IS350 and Lexus IS250 applications where multiple model years are covered. Replace the support only after safely securing the hood.

Quality Assurance

FCS supplies replacement suspension and support components for automotive service applications. FCS 86797 is cataloged as a fitment-specific hood lift support for the listed Lexus IS vehicles.
