Product Details
Unity Automotive has more than 40 years of aftermarket suspension manufacturing experience, and the 18-561001 reflects that focus on replacement suspension components. This rear left air suspension strut is made for drivers servicing a Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator with rear air suspension, where correct ride height, damping response, and OE-style fit are important.
