Automotive Lift Support Hood

The FCS STRUTS 86258 is a transparent lift support hood designed for automotive accessory applications. It replaces worn or failed original equipment struts to restore smooth opening and holding of bonnets, boots or hatches. The unit is supplied new and ready for direct fitment on compatible vehicles.

Transparent Gas-Spring Construction

A clear outer tube reveals the internal gas-spring mechanism, allowing visual inspection of rod condition and seal integrity over time. Standard ball-socket end fittings enable bolt-on installation with basic hand tools, and the self-contained design requires no external plumbing or electrical connections for daily operation.

Direct Replacement for Failed Struts

This part upgrades from collapsed or leaking original struts that no longer hold panels open safely. The jump is worth it when bonnet drift, sudden closure or visible oil residue appear on the existing units. Buyers needing adjustable damping or non-standard mounting centres should verify specifications before ordering.

Questions about this item

What interface does the lift support use to attach to the hood?

The FCS STRUTS 86258 lift support mounts using standard ball-socket or eyelet ends that bolt to the original hood hinge brackets.

What physical clearance does the transparent strut need inside the engine bay?

The unit requires the same compressed and extended length as the factory hood prop so it fits the existing mounting points without modification.

How is the 86258 lift support installed and what step is often missed?

Support the hood securely, remove the old struts, snap the new ends onto the ball studs, then verify the hood latches fully before releasing the prop.
