Product Details
StrongArm 4322R is engineered as a direct replacement lift support for the Ford Escort right-side application across 1998-2003 model years. The cylinder dimensions, stroke length, and end fittings are matched to the vehicle-specific mounting points, helping the hood, hatch, or liftgate move with controlled resistance instead of dropping or drifting open. This part number, 4322R, is also referenced by AMS Automotive 4322R and Dorman First Stop C95943.
Common Problems This Part Can Solve
- Hood, hatch, or rear glass that will not stay open
- Weak or slow lift support movement
- Uneven or inconsistent opening effort
- Drooping support on the right side of the vehicle
- Loss of controlled lift after the original gas strut wears out
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle is a 1998-2003 Ford Escort and confirm the right-side mounting location before installation. Inspect the mounting points and ball stud or bracket interfaces for wear, corrosion, or damage before transferring the new support into place. For safe and reliable operation, replace lift supports in pairs when the opposite side is also worn.
Quality Assurance
StrongArm lift supports are custom engineered and manufactured to exceed industry standards for smoother operation and longer service life. The 4322R is built for specific-fit performance on the Ford Escort application and uses durable steel, rubber, and Teflon-based construction materials for consistent function.
