Hold your hatch open smoothly and keep it from dropping with the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 4B-8534IU, an 18.15-inch hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1986-1995 Ford Taurus, 1986-1995 Mercury Sable, and 1986-1995 Mercury Taurus — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
Based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, this unit is easy to install and requires no special tools. Over time a worn gas strut loses charge and lets the liftgate creep or slam shut; if a failed lift support is the cause, this replaces it. For balanced motion, Stabilus recommends replacing supports in pairs.
