Put a stronger mount at the top of your rear shock with the Dorman OE FIX Shock Absorber Mount 542-845. This upgraded rear upper mount is made from high-strength steel with a corrosion-resistant E-coat finish. It fits many Ford and Lincoln vehicles, among them the 2015-2023 Ford Mustang, 2013-2020 Ford Fusion and 2015-2024 Ford Edge, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.

On certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles, the original upper shock mount is made of aluminum, which corrodes and can lead to cracks. This Dorman suspension shock absorber mount uses steel in place of that aluminum and is designed to resist the corrosion behind those failures.

  • Improved design: high-strength steel with a corrosion-resistant E-coat finish replaces the original aluminum material, for greater strength and durability than the factory design.
  • Application specific: designed to last longer than the original shock mount on certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles.
  • Durable construction: designed and built to strict specifications for dependable performance.
  • Trustworthy quality: supported by a team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.

Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, or visible corrosion or cracking on the mount. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the full list of fitting vehicles.

How is it different from the original mount?

The original mount on certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles is aluminum, which corrodes and can crack. This Dorman OE FIX version uses high-strength steel with a corrosion-resistant E-coat finish instead.

What are signs a shock mount may need replacing?

Clunking or knocking from the rear over bumps, or visible corrosion or cracks on the mount. Diagnose the cause first, because other suspension parts can make similar noises.

How is it installed?

It installs at the rear upper shock location. Consult the vehicle service information for the procedure, torque values and whether the original fasteners may be reused.
