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.
