No, these specific gas struts (TFO1523356X2) are designed exclusively for the Ford Fiesta MK7 models produced between 2008 and 2017.
With normal use and proper installation, these gas struts are designed for long-term durability. Lifespan can vary depending on usage frequency and environmental conditions, but they typically last several years.
No, gas struts are sealed units and do not require lubrication. The rod should be kept clean from dirt and debris to ensure smooth operation.
While possible, it is highly recommended to replace both gas struts simultaneously. This ensures balanced support for the tailgate and consistent performance, preventing uneven wear.
Basic hand tools such as screwdrivers or socket wrenches are usually sufficient. Some models may have retaining clips that require a flathead screwdriver or a specialized trim tool for removal.
The part number may be printed on the body of the strut itself, often near the mounting brackets. Referencing your vehicle's manual or online automotive parts databases for your specific Fiesta model can also help identify the correct replacement part.
These refer to the vehicle's drivetrain (Front-Wheel Drive), the specific generation/body style (Vehicle Identification code VI CB1, CCN), indicating compatibility with that particular version of the Ford Fiesta.
Ensure both new struts are correctly and securely attached at both the body and tailgate mounting points. Double-check that the correct struts for your vehicle model were used.
Verify that the struts are installed in the correct orientation. Ensure no debris is obstructing the strut rod or mounting points. Check for any binding in the tailgate hinges.
Inspect the strut for any signs of damage or leakage. If damage is found, the strut is compromised and should be replaced immediately. Contact the seller for a replacement if within the warranty period.
Confirm that the part number (TFO1523356X2) matches your vehicle's specifications exactly. Ensure you are attempting to attach them to the correct designated mounting points on the car body and tailgate.
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for the Ford Fiesta MK7 models manufactured between 2008 and 2017. Please verify your vehicle's model year and ensure it matches the description. The listed engine types and body styles are compatible.
Setup (Installation):
Care: These gas struts are generally maintenance-free. Avoid exposing them to excessive force or impacts. Keep the mounting points clean to prevent corrosion. If the strut's casing appears damaged or if performance degrades significantly, replacement is recommended.
