Automotive Hood Lift Support

The FCS Struts 86148 is a transparent lift support designed for automotive hood applications. It replaces worn or failed original equipment struts to restore smooth opening and secure holding of the hood. The unit is sold new and carries the FCS Struts brand marking.

Replaces Failed Factory Struts

This support upgrades a hood that no longer stays open or closes unevenly due to gas loss or seal wear in the original strut. The jump is worth it when the hood drifts down in wind or requires a prop rod to stay up. Installation typically uses the existing mounting points on the vehicle.

Fits Existing Mounting Points

The strut integrates with the factory hinge and latch geometry so no drilling or bracket fabrication is required. Its transparent finish blends with various hood liner colours and engine bay layouts. The part frees up hands during under-hood work by keeping the hood securely raised without auxiliary props.
