Product Details

Monroe 906981 is part of the Strut-Mate Shock Mounting Kit line, created for rear suspension repairs where the strut mount is replaced during strut or spring service. The mount helps restore proper attachment at the top of the rear strut assembly and supports quieter operation by isolating vibration. This part is a direct-fit style suspension shock absorber mounting kit for select Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, and related applications, including rear fitments on the Ford Escape, Ford C-Max, Ford Focus, Lincoln MKC, Mazda 3, and Mazda 5.

What It Helps Address

  • Rear suspension noise from worn strut mounts
  • Vibration transfer through the strut assembly
  • Loose or deteriorated mounting points during strut service
  • Ride quality issues caused by aged rear mount components
  • Need for a replacement mount during conventional strut or spring replacement

Installation Notes

Install the Monroe Strut-Mate Shock Mounting Kit 906981 during rear strut or spring replacement on the listed applications. Verify vehicle configuration before ordering, especially on the Lincoln MKC, which requires the rear application without Electronic Adjustable Suspension. Confirm the rear position and compare the existing mount to the replacement part before installation.
