Automotive Tailgate Lift Support
The FCS Struts 86529 is a transparent lift support designed for automotive tailgate applications. It functions as a direct replacement component to restore smooth opening and closing motion. This new part suits vehicle owners addressing worn or failed original equipment struts. The transparent finish provides a neutral appearance.
Straightforward Bolt-On Replacement
Installation typically involves removing the old struts and securing the new units to the existing mounting points using basic hand tools. The process requires supporting the tailgate safely during the swap to prevent damage or injury. A common issue is failing to prop the hatch adequately before disconnecting the old hardware. Correct alignment of the end fittings ensures proper operation.
Gas-Charged Operation Limits
The strut relies on internal gas pressure to provide the lifting force, which gradually diminishes over years of service and temperature cycling. Extreme cold can temporarily reduce output force, making the tailgate feel heavier to lift. The unit is designed for a specific weight range matched to the original vehicle application. It does not offer adjustable damping or variable force settings.
