Stabilus Gas Strut for Ford Excursion

This Stabilus gas strut, part number 5B-249795, is built for controlled lift support on the 2000-2005 Ford Excursion. With a 605 N (136 lb) force rating, 354 mm extended length, and 241.5 mm compressed length, it provides the measured support needed for panels, hatches, or lift applications that rely on smooth motion.

Key Features

  • Stabilus part number 5B-249795
  • Fits 2000-2005 Ford Excursion
  • 605 N / 136 lb force rating
  • 354 mm extended length and 241.5 mm compressed length
  • 8 mm rod diameter and 19 mm tube diameter
  • Plastic socket rod and tube connections
  • 10 mm rod-end and tube-end attachment diameter

Product Details

Built to match the listed dimensions and connection style, this Stabilus gas spring is specified with plastic socket ends for direct replacement use where the original support uses the same attachment design. The 5B-249795 gas strut is a practical choice for Ford Excursion lift support service when the existing unit has weakened, lost pressure, or no longer holds position properly. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

  • Liftgate, hatch, or panel dropping too quickly
  • Weak support that no longer holds the open position
  • Uneven or inconsistent opening and closing effort
  • Noise or binding from a worn gas strut
  • Loss of damping from age, pressure loss, or seal wear

Installation Notes

Verify compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, tube diameter, and socket style before installation. Confirm the mounting points on your Ford Excursion match the 10 mm attachment diameter and plastic socket connection design. Replace the support with the liftgate, hatch, or panel fully secured, and compare the old unit to the new one before final installation. Fits 2000-2005 Ford Excursion, N/A.
