Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the end fittings and length before installation to confirm the replacement matches the original trunk support. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so the trunk lid opens and holds evenly. Confirm the ball socket sizes and mounting points on the Lincoln MKS before removal of the original unit.
