Detailed Description

The 10 mm rod and 22 mm tube dimensions, along with plastic socket end fittings, make it a practical OE-style replacement for the rear liftgate position. This part number, 2B-871433, is also referenced in aftermarket interchange listings for the same application.

- Correcting slow, uneven, or difficult liftgate movement
- Addressing loss of holding force in the rear hatch support
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle is a 2013-2017 Ford Escape without Power Liftgate before ordering. Compare the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and socket-style end fittings to the original support before installation. Replace the support only when the liftgate is securely held in position and follow standard safety practices when removing and installing gas springs.
