Automotive Lift Support Hood

The FCS STRUTS 86353 is a transparent lift support hood designed as an automotive accessory. It replaces worn original equipment to restore smooth opening and controlled closing of bonnets, hatches or tailgates. Vehicle owners seeking a direct-fit replacement for a specific part number will find this unit matches the 86353 designation.

Installation And Clearance

The strut mounts to existing factory pivot points using standard hardware, so no drilling or bracket fabrication is required. Its compressed and extended lengths match the original specification, preserving the designed range of motion and latch engagement. Removing the old unit frees up the hinge line for cleaning or rust treatment before the new strut is fitted.

Daily Operation

Gas-charged damping delivers consistent force across temperature changes, preventing sudden drops in cold weather or overextension on hot days. The sealed cylinder operates silently without hydraulic noise during each cycle. Low internal friction reduces the effort needed to lift the panel, while the transparent finish allows visual inspection of the rod seal for early leak detection.

Questions about this item

Will the transparent coating hold up after months of sun and weather on the hood?

The strut is finished in a transparent coating that resists corrosion and UV exposure for long service life on the hood.

Does the strut stay quiet and cool when the hood is opened and closed repeatedly all day?

Gas-charged damping keeps movement smooth and silent without generating noticeable heat during frequent cycles.

What mounting hardware must already be on the vehicle for the 86353 to bolt on?

The 86353 uses the factory ball-stud brackets already fitted to the hood and body — no extra parts are required.
