Keep the tailgate glass raised and steady with the Focus Auto Parts Liftgate Lift Support 84781, a gas-charged strut that fits the 1987-1997 Ford Aerostar [All]. It supports the weight of the raised liftgate and controls how it rises and settles, so the hatch holds its open position instead of drifting or dropping while you load and unload.
- Stroke length: 7.91 in of travel between compressed and extended positions.
- Compressed length: 16.46 in; extended length: 24.37 in.
- Sold to match the application: the listed Aerostar uses two supports; replace both sides together as a matched pair for even, balanced hold.
- Country of origin: China.
Signs a lift support may need replacing include a liftgate that no longer stays up, sinks slowly on its own, or needs to be propped open. Because supports work as a pair, a weak one throws extra load on the other, so changing both at once is good practice. If a worn support is the cause of a sagging hatch, this part replaces it.
Manufacturer part number 84781.
