Detailed Description

FCS 84584 is a gas-charged lift support used to assist liftgate operation on the specified vehicles. The measured compressed length, extended length, and stroke length are important for matching hatch geometry and travel, helping the liftgate open and hold in the proper range for the application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

Verify the vehicle year, make, and model before ordering, since this lift support is listed only for the specified Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln applications.

Inspect the mounting points and surrounding hardware for wear or damage before installation.
