Installation Notes
Verify the vehicle is a 2018-2019 Ford Escape with the right-side rear liftgate application and no power liftgate before ordering. Compare the original strut’s compressed length, extended length, and socket-style end fittings to confirm match-up. Support the liftgate securely during replacement and transfer any reusable mounting points from the original setup if required by the vehicle.
