Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:3B-029147
Hold your liftgate open smoothly and keep it from drifting shut with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-186460, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support measuring 23.78 inches. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2007 Ford Freestar, 2004-2007 Mercury Freestar, and 2004-2007 Mercury Monterey — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application details.
This is a Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus unit, using an oil-channeling system and the patented labyrinth piston design tuned with application-specific oil viscosities and piston configurations for controlled, refined motion. A precision seal-guide system and high-grade materials support durable, reliable operation. If a worn lift support that no longer holds the liftgate up or feels weak is the issue, this replaces it. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs.
