Detailed Description

Mando MSS020952 is a rear shock absorber for the 2008-2012 Ford Escape, 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute, and 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner. This OE-style replacement is intended to return suspension response closer to original vehicle behavior by controlling spring movement and reducing the harsh, unsettled ride that often comes with worn shocks. This part cross-references Ford 9L8Z18125B and KYB 349101 for the same application. Use MSS020952 when replacing a rear shock on these Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, or Mercury Mariner applications and you need a direct-fit suspension service part.

What It Helps Address

• Rear-end bouncing after bumps
• Excessive vibration or road harshness
• Noise associated with worn suspension damping
• Reduced braking stability from weak rear shocks
• Uneven handling and poor body control

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the rear suspension position only for the listed applications. Inspect related suspension components such as mounts, bushings, and springs before installation, since worn parts can affect ride quality and shock performance. Verify vehicle year, make, model, and rear-position fitment against MSS020952 before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Mando markets this New Shock Absorber line as an OE-style suspension replacement focused on fit, function, and performance consistent with original equipment expectations.
