Product Details

Unity’s Gas Charged Shock Absorber line focuses on OE-style suspension replacement parts built from the company’s long-running aftermarket suspension experience. Part number 252120 follows OEM sizing and application requirements for rear suspension service on the Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT, helping maintain the original ride characteristics expected from these vehicles. This rear shock absorber is a practical choice for drivers servicing a 2009-2017 Ford Flex rear suspension or a 2010-2012 Lincoln MKT rear suspension, and it also covers later 2018-2019 Ford Flex and 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT applications that are superseded to 252130.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced damping control over rough pavement
• Rear suspension instability during lane changes or cornering
• Uneven ride quality caused by worn shock absorber performance
• Noisy or harsh rear suspension behavior from aging components
