Detailed Description

The Stabilus 2C-656095 is a lift support engineered for the rear hatch on 2013-2015 Ford Explorer models with a power liftgate. It uses plastic socket connections at both ends and is sized to match the specified liftgate geometry, helping the hatch open and close with controlled motion. This part cross-references Ford OE numbers BB5Z 78406A10-C and BB53 78402A74-AD for the same application. The 2C-656095 part number is also referenced under interchange numbers including 439056 and 875942.

What It Helps Address

  • Rear hatch that will not stay open
  • Liftgate that drops too quickly
  • Weak or uneven power liftgate support
  • Noise or binding during hatch movement
  • Loss of controlled opening and closing on the Explorer liftgate

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2013-2015 Ford Explorer with a power liftgate before ordering. Match the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and plastic socket end style to the original support. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs when both sides show similar wear, and confirm the liftgate operates smoothly after installation.
