What This Gas Spring Helps Address

• Weak or slow-opening lift support on a Ford Mustang or Mercury Capri
• Hatch, hood, or panel that no longer stays in the open position
• Loss of original opening force from a worn gas strut
• Uneven or inconsistent support during rear or access-panel operation
• Replacement needs for vehicles using plastic socket mounting points

Installation Notes

Verify the compressed length, extended length, force rating, and socket style before installation. Match the vehicle configuration carefully, since Ford Mustang and Mercury Capri applications differ by spoiler equipment in the listed years. Confirm both attachment diameters and mounting orientation against the original support before removal.
