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.

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we can take a look at this custom fit hatch lift support gas strut. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2011 to 2015 Ford Explorer, and on a custom fit part like this, I always like to recommend for you to go our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, it'll show if this'll work for your application. Now this will replace a worn or damaged ball and socket gas strut on your vehicle's hatch. Basically the arm on this gas strut'll extend to hold your hatch open and gently compress when it's closing.
The dampening technology provides a nice, smooth operation that eliminates bouncing or jumping. It ensures a nice frictionless movement in all weather conditions. I wanna zoom in and show you on the ends here. They do use the nylon ball and socket connectors, which install directly to your existing OEM fittings on your vehicle. The shaft right here is a nitride coated steel shaft, and it's corrosion resistant for long lasting performance.
And this does easily install in minutes. There's no special tools required. This must be installed in the same position as the one which was removed and they do always recommend to replace these gas struts in pairs. This is for a quantity of one lift support. The connection type, again, is ball socket on both ends.
Total length on this, the extended length is measured from the center of the socket to the center of this socket. So if we put our tape measure on it, it's gonna be right at 25 11/16 of an inch, and the compressed length on this would be 18 inches. But that should do it for the review on the custom fit hatch lift support gas strut..
