Note: Always replace your struts in pairs, where applicable. Most liftgates have a strut on each side. Failure to replace both struts can result in a warped or damaged hinge.
Gas Strut with Exceptional Stability
Most gas struts consist of a tube filled with pressurized nitrogen gas, a piston, and rod. The Atlas Lift strut, however, has a dynamic damping groove inside the tube that regulates gas movement across the piston. This ensures your liftgate stays open when you want it open and shuts slowly without bouncing or slamming. Lastly, in contrast to struts that only have gas in the chamber, a few drops of oil have been mixed in to help seal the piston and lubricate the rod. This allows your liftgate to move more smoothly as the rod travels in and out of the tube.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this custom fit liftgate lift support. Now this is designed to fit your 2007 to 2014 Ford Edge and on custom fit parts such as this lift support, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide. Just input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, this is going to replace one worn or damaged ball and socket gas strut for your Edge's liftgate. And the dampening groove inside of the tube is going to prevent bouncing, giving you smooth operation at any temperature, extending the rod from the tube to open the liftgate and hold it in place, and then compressing the rod to slowly close the liftgate without slamming it shut.
The internal wiper is going to prevent sticking and reduces friction by lubricating the rod with oil. The black powder coated steel tube and nitride coated steel rod are going to be corrosion and rust resistant. This is going to be a quick installation. The ball and socket ends are going to connect directly to your Edge's OEM fittings. And lemme go ahead and retrieve my tape measure here and measure center of socket to center of socket to give you the measurement of the extended length.
So measuring on center is, I hope you can see there, we're sitting right at about 22 1/16 inches on that extended length. The compressed length is gonna be 13 3/4 inches. And you are going to receive this one lift support, but you do always wanna replace your struts in pairs where applicable. Most liftgates do have a strut on each side. So failure to replace both struts could result in a warped or damaged hinge.
And this does have a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
