• Description:

  This genuine Ford dust shield is the protective boot that surrounds the rear shock absorber piston rod, shielding the polished rod and rod seal from road grit, moisture, and debris so the shock's seal is not scored and the damper achieves full service life. It carries Ford engineering number F2GZ-18159-A and is cataloged as a Dust Shield or shock absorber bellows, fitting a range of 2015-2021 Ford and Lincoln rear-suspension applications including Edge, MKX, Nautilus, Continental, and Mustang, and it is normally supplied with a new shock assembly. When the dust shield is torn, collapsed, or missing, abrasive grit reaches the piston rod and accelerates seal wear, which leads to a shock that weeps oil, loses damping, and produces a bouncy ride or clunking noises well before its expected life. A degraded shield often accompanies an aging shock and is easy to overlook during a suspension inspection. Installing a genuine Ford shield restores the correct fit over the rod and mount so it stays located and continues to protect the seal. Inspect the shock rod and seal for existing damage when fitting a new shield, and replace the shield whenever the shock is serviced to protect the new damper. Confirm the rear-suspension application for your model before ordering, since shield diameter and length are matched to the specific shock. This is the OEM replacement that protects the rear damper and preserves smooth, controlled ride quality.

• Notes: Included with shock assembly.
