Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support P/N:3B-029147
Keep the tailgate rising smoothly and staying put with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 3B-294966, a temperature-compensating, gas-charged lift support with dynamic speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2019 Ford Flex; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine breakdown. This 23.27-inch LIFT-O-MAT unit uses a Temperature Compensating Valve (TCV) to deliver OE-equivalent performance on vehicles designed with temperature compensation systems.
For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold with matched force. Signs a lift support may need replacing include a liftgate that drops, drifts, or won't stay raised, or that opens slowly and unevenly.
