Product Identity

The Unity 2-252040-001 Rear Shock Absorber Kit is a suspension repair package built for specific Ford and Mazda models. It contains two nitrogen gas-charged shock absorbers designed as direct replacements for original equipment. Unity brings over 50 years of aftermarket manufacturing experience to this kit, focusing on trouble-free installation and long-lasting reliability for daily driving conditions.

Fitment Scope

This kit fits the 2008-2012 Ford Escape and the 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute. Buyers with other model years or different vehicle platforms will need a different part number. The package includes both rear units together, so owners replacing only one corner should verify if individual units are available elsewhere.

Sustained Operation

Twin-tube gas-charged construction helps maintain consistent damping during extended drives over varied road surfaces. The nitrogen charge reduces fluid aeration that can cause fade on long descents or repeated compression cycles. Unity designs these shocks to withstand the test of time, delivering stable ride control through daily commutes and highway trips without the performance drop-off seen in worn original units.

Yes, the kit includes two nitrogen gas-charged shock absorbers designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment shocks on 2008-2012 Ford Escape models.

Can these shocks be used on a 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute that still has its original front suspension components?

Yes, the kit fits 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute models and is engineered to work with the existing factory front suspension geometry and mounting points.
