Maintaining and Replacing Gas Struts on Your 2017 Ford Ranger

If you own a 2017 Ford Ranger, you might be aware that gas struts are crucial components in your vehicle, particularly for the bonnet and sometimes for the tailgate and canopies depending on your model and customisations. These gas struts are designed to assist in lifting and holding the bonnet or tailgate open, ensuring safety and ease of use during maintenance or loading activities.

Over time, gas struts can lose their effectiveness. The pressurised gas inside the strut that provides the force to lift heavy panels can leak, causing decreased performance. While this degradation happens gradually, it can lead to the component not holding the bonnet or tailgate securely in an open position, which can be both inconvenient and unsafe.

If you're beginning to struggle to lift your bonnet or it's not staying open as it should, it might be time to look into replacing the gas struts. Here's a guide to make that process smooth and easy for all you 2017 Ford Ranger enthusiasts out there.

  1. Identify the Symptoms: Start by ensuring the issue lies with the gas struts. If your bonnet no longer stays open or requires noticeable effort to lift, the struts may need replacing. Inconsistent behaviour, such as the bonnet closing on its own or struts that feel loose, also indicates replacement is necessary.
  2. Purchase the Right Struts: Confirm you have the right gas struts for your Ranger. It's essential to check the specifications in your manual or get advice from a reputable auto part supplier to match the replacement struts with your vehicle model. You might want to stick with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts to ensure quality and compatibility, although aftermarket options can also be viable.
  3. Safe Strut Removal: Before removing the old struts, ensure the bonnet or tailgate is securely propped open. You can do this with the help of another person or a sturdy, non-slip support. Removing the clips or bolts that secure your gas struts is typically straightforward, you might need a simple flathead screwdriver or a ratchet set, depending on the retention mechanisms.
  4. Installing New Struts: Installation is normally the reverse of removal. Attach the new struts at one end before securing them fully. Check for any manufacturer-specific instructions as some struts have a specific direction they need to be installed due to their design. This is crucial for proper function.
  5. Testing the Function: Once in place, test the operation by opening and closing the bonnet several times. Ensure the struts support the weight adequately and hold the position securely without any slipping or sagging. If the bonnet stays balanced and the motion is smooth, the replacement is successful.

Aside from replacements, regular checks and light maintenance can extend the life of your gas struts. Here are some tips for keeping them in top shape:

  • Inspect Regularly: Check for any leaks or visible wear at regular intervals. Examination during routine vehicle servicing can help spot issues early on.
  • Keep Clean: Dirt and grime can impede the function of gas struts over time. Regularly wiping the rods clean with a soft cloth helps preserve their operation.
  • Check Fittings: Ensure that the bolts and fittings securing the gas struts in place remain tight. Loose fixings can compromise the effectiveness and safety of the struts.

As you can see, maintaining and replacing gas struts on your 2017 Ford Ranger is an attainable task with the right approach. Regular checks and prompt replacements can offer peace of mind, knowing that the bonnet and other panels are secure when opened. Being proactive with maintenance can save you from potential mishaps down the line and contribute to the overall safety and functionality of your vehicle. Look after those gas struts, and they'll surely return the favour by making every under-the-hood task that little bit easier.
