Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:2B-8432IK
Keep the rear liftgate rising smoothly and holding steady with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 2B-871433, a temperature-compensating, gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs on the RIGHT-hand side as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2017 Ford Escape, measuring 29.02 inches. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The temperature-sensitive valve is designed to adjust gas force with environmental conditions — adding force in cold weather while easing force in warm conditions for easier closing — for consistent operation across temperature extremes. If a worn or leaking original support is the cause of a liftgate that drifts down, won't stay up, or opens slowly, this replaces it. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does this lift support fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2017 Ford Escape, mounted on the RIGHT-hand side. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
What does the temperature compensating valve do?
The internal Temperature Compensating Valve adjusts gas holding force with temperature — adding force in cold weather and easing it in warm conditions for smoother, more consistent liftgate operation.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
For best results, Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs so both sides open and hold with matched, balanced force.
What are signs this lift support may need replacing?
A liftgate that drifts or falls down, won't stay open, or rises slowly or unevenly can indicate a worn or leaking gas support. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Are special tools needed to install it?
No. This lift support is easy to install and requires no special tools, and it is based on the OE design for proper fit, form and function.
