Product Details

Unity Automotive has more than 40 years of aftermarket suspension manufacturing experience, and the 15040 strut assembly reflects that focus on direct-fit replacement parts. This unit is engineered for rear suspension service on the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable, including popular Ford Taurus 2003 rear applications, with coverage spanning model years from 1994 through 2007 across the listed fitments. The assembly is built to match OEM-style dimensions and is intended for vehicles that need a complete rear strut solution without rebuilding the original unit.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 181616 for the same application. Unity 15040 also aligns with multiple OE-style interchange numbers used on rear Taurus and Sable suspension service.

What It Helps Fix

  • Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
  • Uneven ride height caused by a fatigued coil spring assembly
