RJG Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 The struts on our 2012 Limited Edge are getting weak. They don't hold the hatch all the way up. At dealership they seem ridiculously expensive. I have used some after market ones that weren't much better than these old weak ones on previous vehicles. Any non Ford sources with good strong struts? Any brand you recommend? Is there a good E Bay source for Ford struts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I would stay with Motorcraft for these parts. Others have reported problems with aftermarket. Ebay has lots to choose from, for example: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F272690460370 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJG Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Thanks....looks like they show one at a time, so I guess that means you have to order two....they aren't sold in pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Which is a travesty, because these things should always be replaced in pairs. But what can u do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) If you wanted aftermarket, these seem to be highly rated (macbwt approved as well): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PTVQ9I2 $35 for two of them, shipped: https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/monroe,901848,lift+support,1404 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CqnmfIjmoqo Edited February 3, 2018 by candurin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 You will want the Sachs struts, not the Monroes. http://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/sachs,SG304084,lift+support,1404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJG Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 For those looking at replacing your rear hatch struts.....the Monroe's work great. Hatch goes up all the way...all on it's own now. A more than reasonable price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
