Rear Tailgate Gas Struts for Ford Focus MK1 DAW DBW 1998-2004 Hatchback
Restore firm support and smooth operation to your 1998–2004 Ford Focus MK1 hatchback boot with this precision-engineered pair of rear tailgate gas struts.
When factory dampers leak or lose pressure, even a lightweight tailgate becomes difficult to lift and refuses to stay open securely. These aftermarket replacements deliver consistent 700N of lifting force, firmly holding the boot in raised positions while preventing unwanted drops. Constructed from durable carbon steel with a protective black coating, they resist moisture and road grime effectively. Designed as a direct interchange for factory references such as 3M51A406A10AA, 3M51A406A10AB, and XS41A406A10AF, the units measure 455mm extended (±2mm centre-to-centre) to match the original mounting geometry on both left and right sides. Installation requires basic hand tools and takes minimal time, allowing you to avoid costly garage invoices.
Benefits & Tips
- Align the clevis pins precisely with the existing retaining bolts to prevent cross-threading during mounting.
- Wipe residual lubricant from the exposed piston rods after a few service cycles to keep dust and grit away.
- Avoid leaning or storing heavy cargo against the fully open tailgate, which extends the working lifespan of the gas springs.
