Questions about this item

How do I install the FCS STRUTS 86680 lift support tailgate and which step is commonly missed?

Mount the new strut to the original hinge points and fully seat the retaining clips; the step often missed is pressing each clip until it clicks so the rod cannot pop out under load.

What maintenance or replacement will the 86680 lift support need over time?

Inspect the transparent cylinder annually for oil film or reduced lift force; replace the unit when the tailgate no longer stays open on its own.

What limit appears first on the 86680 strut during repeated opening cycles?

Gas-spring pressure decay is the first limit; after many cycles the tailgate will begin to drift downward instead of holding position.
