LIFTGATE - HYDRAULIC LIFTS MAY NOT SUPPORT HATCH WHEN AFTERMARKET SPOILER/WING IS ADDED

FORD:
1993-94 PROBE

ISSUE:
When an aftermarket spoiler/wing is installed on the rear liftgate, the liftgate may not stay in a full up position when opened. Production level hydraulic lifts may not be able to support the added weight.

ACTION:
Replace the hydraulic lifts with increased capacity hydraulic lifts which can support the added weight of aftermarket spoiler/wings up to 10 lbs. (5 kg). Refer to the Probe Service Manual, Section 01-03, for service details.

CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THE PROPER LIFTS ARE BEING USED. USING THE INCORRECT LIFTS COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. ADDING MORE WEIGHT THAN SPECIFIED TO THE LIFTGATE COULD ALSO RESULT IN INJURY. NO MORE THAN 10 LBS (5 Kgs) MAY BE ADDED TO THE LIFTGATE.
