Automotive Lift Support Hood

The FCS STRUTS 86294 is a transparent lift support designed for automotive hood applications. It replaces worn original equipment to restore smooth opening and controlled closing motion. Vehicle owners and repair shops can install it directly without modification.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The strut maintains consistent force throughout its travel range during repeated daily cycles. Gas-charged construction resists fade when the hood is held open for extended periods in varying temperatures. Performance remains stable across seasonal changes without the pressure loss common in aged units.

Build Quality and Mounting

Transparent finish allows visual inspection of the rod seal and cylinder condition over time. Standard end fittings match factory mounting points for straightforward bolt-on installation. Durable materials withstand road vibration, moisture and engine-bay heat without premature wear.

Questions about this item

Does the transparent lift-support hood generate any noise or heat when it operates continuously?

The transparent hood is a passive gas-charged strut with no moving electrical parts, so it produces no noise or heat during all-day operation.

What mounting hardware must I already have on the vehicle for the 86294 strut to install correctly?

You need the factory hood hinges and the original ball-stud brackets that match the 86294 length and end-fitting style.

Will the 86294 transparent strut work alongside the original steel strut on the other side of the hood?

Yes, the 86294 is designed as a direct replacement and will function correctly paired with an OEM steel strut on the opposite hinge.
