Product Details

KYB’s Gas-a-just line is engineered around a monotube shock architecture rather than a traditional twin-tube layout. That means the working chambers are separated: one side handles hydraulic control for quick response, while the nitrogen gas chamber helps maintain consistent performance under changing road conditions. For rear suspension service on the Ford Escape, this design supports controlled ride behavior without the fade associated with aeration.

This SA1013 rear shock absorber is a fitment-specific replacement for 2013, 2014, and 2015 Ford Escape models. If you are searching for a rear shock absorber for 2013-2015 Ford Escape, KYB SA1013 is the exact part number to reference.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Excessive rear bounce over bumps
• Reduced rear-end stability during braking or cornering
• Uneven or inconsistent damping response
• Ride harshness from worn rear shock components
• Noise or looseness from a worn rear shock and mount assembly

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment before ordering: this SA1013 is listed for 2013-2015 Ford Escape rear applications only. Confirm the lower mount type E2(12x36) and upper mount type S1(8MM) against the vehicle’s original suspension hardware before installation.

Because this is a shock and mount assembly, inspect surrounding rear suspension components such as bushings, springs, and mounting points during service. Proper torque and alignment of the mounting fasteners are important for correct operation.
