KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:3440137
KYB 5550005 rear shock absorber for the 2016-2019 Ford Escape controls rear wheel movement with a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber. This Gas-a-Just is a KYB shock absorber made as an OE monotube replacement to restore the vehicle's original capabilities.
A bouncy ride, a rear end that sways, or fluid on the shock body can mean a shock is worn. These signs alone do not prove the shock is the problem, because worn tires can feel much the same. Rear shocks are normally replaced as a pair, and this listing is one shock.
It is a shock absorber for the 2016-2019 Ford Escape, made for the rear position.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this KYB gas shock absorber a monotube design?
Yes. KYB 5550005 is a high-pressure monotube gas shock that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
Will KYB 5550005 fit the rear of a 2016-2019 Ford Escape?
Yes. KYB 5550005 is a rear shock absorber for the 2016-2019 Ford Escape, which takes two.
How is the piston rod on this suspension shock absorber finished?
The piston rod is ultra-smooth and triple chrome plated to reduce seal wear. Fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
What does fluid on the body of a rear shock mean?
Oily wetness on the shock body, seen with the vehicle parked and the engine off, can mean the seal is worn. A shop can confirm whether the shock is the cause.
