Settle the ride and keep the rear end planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Suspension Shock Absorber 37217, a rear-position damper designed to restore a vehicle's original factory drivability while filtering out impact-related noise, vibration and harshness. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2007 Ford Escape, 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
A self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces friction against the piston rod to help limit premature wear. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and the Feel the Difference Guarantee. Shocks work as a matched set — replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced ride control; this listing is for one unit.
What does this shock absorber do?
It's a rear-position hydraulic damper that controls suspension movement to help keep the tires in contact with the road and reduce noise, vibration and harshness for a smoother, more controlled ride.
Which vehicles does the Monroe 37217 fit?
It's a direct-fit rear shock for the 2001-2007 Ford Escape, 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
Should I replace both rear shocks at once?
It's recommended. Shocks wear as a set, so replacing both rear units together helps maintain balanced ride control. This listing is for one shock absorber.
What are signs my shocks may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing over bumps, a rougher ride, nose-diving during braking, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Is this shock gas-charged?
Yes. It uses a nitrogen gas-charge that helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, plus OE all-weather fluid to resist breakdown in temperature extremes.
