Product Details

Autotecnica FD0816550 is built as a direct replacement trunk lid lift support for 2000-2004 Ford Focus and 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models. This gas-charged strut is intended to restore the original lift assistance at the trunk lid or rear compartment, helping the lid open smoothly and stay supported during use. The inverted end fittings and OE-style construction make it a practical choice for a trunk lid lift support replacement on Ford Focus and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 4130 and Timken 614108 for the same application. The part number FD0816550 is also used for identification when matching the correct trunk lid lift support to the vehicle.

What It Helps Fix

• Trunk lid that no longer stays open
• Weak or slow lift assistance at the rear lid
• Drooping trunk lid during loading or unloading
• Uneven or inconsistent opening force
• Noise or binding from a worn gas strut

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle fitment before installation by matching the year, make, and model to the listed applications. This trunk lid lift support uses inverted end fittings and a specific-fit design, so it should be matched to the original mounting style on the vehicle. Compare the extended length and shaft diameter to the removed part before installation. For best results, replace worn supports in pairs when the opposite side shows similar wear, and support the trunk lid securely during service.

Autotecnica FD0816550 is built with a maintenance-free gas strut design, metal housing and piston rod assemblies, and low-friction seals for long service life. It includes a 24 Month Unlimited Mileage Warranty.
