FCS E89042 Liftgate Lift Support - Rear

Liftgate Support for Kia Sorento

The FCS E89042 liftgate lift support is built for rear liftgate applications on the Kia Sorento with power liftgate equipment. It provides controlled lift and hold performance for the rear opening, helping restore normal operation when the original support loses pressure.

Key Features

• Fits 2016-2020 Kia Sorento, rear, with power liftgate.
• Direct replacement liftgate lift support for the rear opening.
• Helps maintain liftgate position during opening and closing.
• FCS part number E89042 for easy identification.

Product Details

This liftgate lift support is intended for the rear liftgate on 2016-2020 Kia Sorento models equipped with a power liftgate. When the original support weakens, the liftgate can become difficult to raise, stay open inconsistently, or close with less controlled movement. Replacing the support with FCS E89042 restores the gas-charged support function needed for smoother operation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Liftgate that drops or will not stay open reliably.
• Reduced support force during liftgate opening.
• Uneven or inconsistent rear hatch movement.
• Wear-related loss of pressure in the original support.

Installation Notes

Verify power liftgate equipment and rear fitment before ordering. Match the part number E89042 to the vehicle application listed above. Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear before installation.

Quality Assurance

FCS supplies replacement body components for service applications, and E89042 is cataloged for the specified Kia Sorento fitment.
