Rear Shock Absorber for 2008-2012 Ford Escape & More - KYB 349101

Restore firm, controlled rear damping with the KYB shock absorber 349101, a nitrogen gas-charged rear unit that drops in as a direct replacement for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape, 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner. Part of the KYB Excel-G line, it's built on the very same KYB OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components and is calibrated to restore the vehicle's original designed performance rather than change it — the reason it carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

This KYB Excel-G shock absorber uses a twin-tube design that includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products.

• Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: the preferred choice of many professional technicians for consistent damping.
• Triple lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
• Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
• Supports electronic safety systems: helps keep the systems that rely on suspension, brakes and tires performing as designed.

This is a rear unit, sold individually; order two to replace both rear shocks together as a matched pair for even, balanced ride control.
