Rear Gas Struts With Tailgate Support For Ford Focus MK2 Hatchback 2005-2010
Restore smooth operation to your hatchback with these precision-engineered rear tailgate gas struts, engineered specifically for Ford Focus MK2 models produced between 2005 and 2010. When original props weaken, loading groceries or retrieving items becomes a physical struggle. These replacement units deliver a consistent 530N eject force and feature a durable carbon steel housing that restores factory-level resistance without requiring a dealership visit. Engineered to match OEM interchange dimensions, they integrate directly into existing mounting brackets for a secure, rattling-free seal every time you lower the boot lid.
Practical Benefits & Installation Tips
Verify your current strut measurements before purchase to ensure compatibility with the required 485 mm extended length measured centre hole to centre hole. Swapping worn components typically takes only ten minutes using basic hand tools, as these replacements replicate standard bent ball stud geometry. Store spare tools nearby during removal to catch any residual pressure, and keep the mounting pivots free of dirt to preserve long-term sealing efficiency.
- Confirm compatibility against original part codes 4M51A406A10AB, 8M51A406A10AB, 1321021, 1684312, 1502096, or 27768 before ordering.
- Avoid striking the piston rod during installation to maintain internal nitrogen charge integrity.
- Check closure tension periodically after extreme temperature shifts, as thermal expansion can temporarily alter closing drag.

Installation Reminders
These are direct-fit aftermarket components designed to meet exact dimensional and force requirements for seamless integration. Factory alignment relies on precise measurement, so double-check bracket corrosion levels before finalizing the swap. Follow recommended torque guidelines when reattaching mounting bolts to prevent stripping aluminum threaded inserts common in late-model Ford bodies. Always test full travel slowly after installation to confirm equal distribution across both trunk hinges.
