Ford Escape owners, if your power liftgate is acting up, this replacement strut is your solution. This is the rear left power lift support specifically for Ford Escape 2.0L and 2.5L models from 2013 to 2019. The OE number is CJ54S402A55AD - make sure that matches what you need! Over time, these factory struts can get weak, make noise, or just stop working properly. This electric strut replaces your worn-out one and gets your power liftgate working smoothly again. It's built with durable carbon steel and anti-rust coating to last. The installation does require some mechanical know-how - you'll need to remove the inner trim panel, unplug the old unit, and swap in this new one. Definitely use a diagnostic scanner to clear any error codes afterward. The extended length is about 30.5 inches and it comes with all the necessary mounting hardware. Once installed, you'll be back to using your key fob to open and close the tailgate effortlessly. The built-in electric motor drives the extension and contraction, so no more manual struggling. It's a non-OEM part but designed to meet or exceed the original specifications. If your Escape's trunk is getting noisy, hard to open, or just not working with the remote anymore, this is probably what needs replacing. Much cheaper than going to the dealer and the quality is solid. Just make sure you're comfortable with the installation process or have a mechanic handle it for you.
