What It Helps Fix

  • Liftgate that drops too quickly

  • Reduced opening and closing control
  • Noise or uneven movement from a worn support

Installation Notes

Verify left-side placement and confirm the vehicle is a 2018-2019 Ford Escape with exc. Power Liftgate before installation. Match the plastic socket attachment points and compare the compressed and extended lengths to the original support for proper fitment. Support the liftgate securely during replacement and inspect the mounting points for wear or damage.
