Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear hatch lift supports on this 2005 Ford Excursion. It's the same parts and similar process on these Excursions from 2000 to 2005. We'll show you on the passenger's side, but the driver's side has the same procedure. The items you'll need includes new rear hatch lift supports from 1AAuto.com and a flat blade screwdriver.
You want something or someone to safely secure the tailgate while you're doing this. Holding the support into place is these two clips. You just pry them out and pull the piston from those studs, so make sure something or someone is safely securing that tailgate. Then pry out the clip and just pull out on the piston. Do the same thing up here. On the bottom is the old lift support; above it is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they're going to fit exactly the same. Take your new support and just push it on to the two studs. You're all set.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Strut replacement
Very easy installation, took like 5 minutes for both sides. Best to have a helper since when you disconnect one strut hatch will come down.

Work Great
This is literally a 30 second fix. These snap right on and you're done. They are just as strong, if not stronger than factory.
★★★★★March 5, 2019
Easy installation
The rear hatch supports were very easy to install and all you need is a small flat head screw driver to pry the clip loose and the new supports pop right in.

Do they continue to work in cold weather? When it gets cold ours no longer hold the lift gate up.
Yeah, mine works.

Says for 4X4 only. Is there lift support for 2 wheel drive?
Yes they will fit your 4x2 however they are 11/2 shorter because the 4x4 sits 11/2 higher then the 4x2 due to suspension difference
