Product Details

The FCS 86827 is a liftgate lift support engineered around the specified compressed, extended, and stroke dimensions to match the liftgate travel required on the Chevrolet Equinox. For 2010-2016 Chevrolet Equinox vehicles equipped with a power liftgate, this support helps maintain proper liftgate movement and holding force during opening and closing. The FCS brand line is focused on replacement suspension and gas-charged support components, and this part number 86827 follows that OE-style replacement approach for the rear liftgate application.

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

What It Helps Fix

• Liftgate that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or inconsistent liftgate support force
• Hard-to-lift rear hatch operation
• Liftgate movement that feels uneven or uncontrolled
• Wear-related replacement needs on a power liftgate system

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the liftgate is properly supported during service and compare the mounting points and orientation to the removed unit for correct replacement.
