Product Description

FCS 84840 is a left-side suspension gas strut for Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer applications that require the listed compressed, extended, and stroke dimensions. The length specifications are important for matching the correct travel and installed position, especially on vehicles without a spoiler. If you are replacing a worn Ford Escort left strut or a Mercury Tracer left strut, this part number 84840 provides the fitment and dimensional reference needed for a proper match.

FCS is the brand line identified for this part, and 84840 is cataloged for the left side across the listed model years. Use the vehicle fitment and measurements together when confirming the correct replacement for your Ford Escort or Mercury Tracer.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

  • Loss of proper suspension support on the left side
  • Incorrect strut length after wear or replacement
  • Reduced travel due to a fatigued gas strut
  • Fitment mismatch on spoiler-equipped versus non-spoiler vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is a non-spoiler application before ordering. Match the left-side position and verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original part. Compare the mounting and installed dimensions on the vehicle before final installation.

Quality Assurance

FCS 84840 is cataloged with defined dimensional specifications and vehicle-specific fitment for the listed Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer applications. Verify the part number 84840 and the application details before installation to ensure the correct replacement.
