Detailed Description

StrongArm 4839 is a replacement lift support engineered for vehicles that use a right-side gas strut to hold the hood, hatch, or rear window glass in position. The pressurized cylinder helps restore controlled lift and steady support when the original support no longer holds properly. With a 19.0 mm cylinder outside diameter and an 8.0 mm inner shaft diameter, this unit is built to match the specified application dimensions and mounting style.

This part fits 1991-1999 Mercury Tracer, right, without spoiler, and 1991-1997 Ford Escort, right, without spoiler. If you are searching for a Ford Escort right lift support or a Mercury Tracer hood or hatch support, StrongArm 4839 provides the correct specific-fit replacement for those configurations.

What It Helps Fix

• Weak or failing hood, hatch, or rear glass support
• Drooping panels that no longer stay open securely
• Uneven or inconsistent opening force on the right side
• Slow, abrupt, or uncontrolled lift motion
• Noise or instability caused by a worn gas strut

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, position, and spoiler configuration before ordering. This part is specific to the right side and should be matched to the listed Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer applications. For balanced operation and even support, replace lift supports in pairs when servicing the vehicle.
