  Actuator Rod, Rod

• Description:

  This Genuine Ford lift rod support is a body and gate component that anchors and locates the liftgate lift rod on the rear hatch, giving the gas-charged support strut and actuator rod a solid pivot so the tailgate can rise, hold, and lower smoothly. It fits 2007-2017 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator full-size SUVs with the rear liftgate. Buyers look for this piece when the liftgate no longer stays up, drops on its own, or feels loose and rattles at the top, or when the original support bracket has cracked or pulled loose from age and repeated cycling. Because the rod support carries the load path for the strut, a broken or worn unit can let the gate sag or bind and can strain the surrounding sheet metal and hinge. Ford catalogs this part in the Body, Gate group as the Lift Rod Support, also described as the actuator rod support. Replacing it with the correct genuine bracket restores proper strut geometry and a secure, self-holding liftgate. As an original Ford component it matches the factory mounting holes and rod interface for a direct bolt-on fit without cutting or adapting.
