Rust eating through a shock tower can weaken the body right where the shock mounts, and it may lead to a failed state safety inspection. The Dorman - OE Solutions Suspension Shock Absorber Tower Patch Panel 999-987 is a weld-in direct replacement for the rear left shock tower on the 2001-2012 Ford Escape, the 2001-2006 and 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and the 2005-2011 Mercury Mariner. It is designed to replace the rusted original panel and help restore the structural integrity of the body and shock mount.

Signs this panel may need replacing include visible rust, flaking metal or holes around the rear left shock tower, or a shock mount that has loosened from the body.
