Detailed Description

FCS 84839 is a direct-fit gas strut for the right side on 1991-1997 Ford Escort and 1991-1999 Mercury Tracer models listed without a spoiler. The length specifications are important for maintaining proper hatch geometry, lift effort, and closed-position alignment. If you are replacing a worn hatch support on a Ford Escort right side or a Mercury Tracer right side, this part number 84839 provides the dimensional match needed for the application.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and this product is cataloged specifically as FCS 84839. Use the vehicle fitment details to confirm the correct side and body configuration before ordering.

What It Helps Address

• Hatch or liftgate that drops instead of staying open
• Weak or slow opening action on the right side
• Uneven support force between left and right lift supports
• Noisy or inconsistent rear hatch movement
• Replacement needs for worn gas struts on Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer models

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1991-1997 Ford Escort, right. Fits 1991-1999 Mercury Tracer, right. Confirm that the vehicle is listed without a spoiler, since that configuration is specified in the fitment notes. Compare the original support’s compressed length, extended length, and stroke length to verify the replacement before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Application-specific dimensions and vehicle fitment data support accurate replacement selection for the listed Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer models. Review the part number 84839 and the side designation before installation to ensure the correct match for your vehicle.
