Detailed Product Overview

This Stabilus gas strut is specified for Ford Focus hood, hatch, or liftgate applications that use the listed dimensions and plastic socket attachment style. The 4B-028707 measures 18.307 inches extended and 12.657 inches compressed, with 10 mm end attachment diameters for proper alignment in the mounting points.

Common Replacement Reasons

  • Weak or failing lift support that no longer holds the panel open
  • Slow, uneven, or abrupt opening action
  • Loss of gas pressure in the original support
  • Noise or binding at the socket ends
  • Incorrect support force after a previous replacement

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and socket style against the original support before installation. Confirm the mounting orientation and end fittings on your Ford Focus before removal, and compare the old unit to Stabilus 4B-028707 to ensure the correct force rating and attachment geometry.
