Stabilus 3C-845370 right liftgate lift support for the 2016-2019 Ford Explorer and other vehicles holds the liftgate open and controls how it moves. It replaces a worn lift support to restore proper liftgate operation.
- FEDERBEIN design pairs a gas spring with a mechanical coil spring to reduce temperature influence on opening and closing force
- Helps maintain lift in low temperatures where gas-spring-only designs can lose effectiveness
- Helps lower closing force at normal and elevated temperatures without reducing cold-weather opening performance
- Precision-formed groove in the tube manages extension speed for smooth motion and a controlled stop
- Fully sealed design needs no lubrication, adjustment or routine maintenance

A liftgate that drifts down, rises slowly or will not stay open can mean the lift support is worn. A bent hinge, worn ball studs or a sticking latch can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before buying; if the support is the cause, this one replaces it.

It is engineered to OE specification for exact fit, form and function with no modification required. This listing is one support for the right side; the left is a separate part, and both are normally replaced together.
