The Monroe ML5416 gas strut is an ideal replacement component for Ford Focus II Schrägheck owners looking to restore smooth, reliable tailgate operation. Engineered for high-strength durability, this strut features a superior rod finish and robust piston seals that provide consistent lifting power and long-lasting performance. While it is designed for a precise, easy-fit installation, users should ensure they are replacing the struts in pairs to maintain balanced tension on the tailgate hinges.

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace both struts simultaneously to ensure balanced lifting force and prevent premature failure of the new part.
The Monroe ML5416 provides an eject force of 530 N.
No, you typically only need a small flat-head screwdriver to release the retaining clips on the strut end sockets.
No, the ML5416 is specifically engineered for the Schrägheck (hatchback) model; always check the compatibility list against your specific VIN or body type.
No, do not apply oil or grease to the piston rod as this will damage the internal seals and attract dirt.
The gas strut has likely lost its internal pressure. Replace both struts as a pair to ensure even tension.
Ensure the retaining clip is fully retracted or partially removed. Clean the ball stud of any corrosion before attempting to snap the socket into place.
Check that the ambient temperature is not extremely cold, which can temporarily reduce gas pressure. If the issue persists in normal temperatures, the strut may be faulty.
This part is exclusively designed for the Ford Focus II Schrägheck (DA_, HCP, DP) produced from November 2004 onwards. Verify your vehicle's production date and body style before installation.
Keep the piston rod clean from road grime and debris to prevent damage to the seal. If you notice a buildup of dust, wipe the rod occasionally with a clean, dry cloth; do not apply lubricants or grease, as these can attract contaminants.
