mcisler Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 2020 Escape Titanium AWD,, 29K miles needed rear tires.. Both shocks were found to be leaking, bad enough that tires wore way early-- Now the problem--- supposedly there are NO shocks for replacement available (and no future availability times given either ) in the entire country, and none aftermarket either ,-- so if I keep driving the new tires will be ruined also . Now the question is this or will this be resolved soon ??. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the question is this or will this be resolved soon ??. I have a fwd 2020 Escape hybrid and so far no early wear on rear tires. I believe shock absorbers are wear and tear items. Do you live on a pot holed road or a nothern state with pot holed roads everywhere? I guess check for TSB on problem to see if this an issue or just a wear and tear issue because of bad roads.

That's crazy that parts for a high volume 2-year old Ford are unavailable! -Ovaltine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcisler Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 tried that--- nothing found in this area --- ebay motors has some ( but not in pairs) and 60$--80$ ea. for something that might be as bad as what I have . Hard to believe there is nothing available in the Ford system as they are still building escapes .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pictor Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Here is a crazy idea, did you look in England for Kuga shocks, I saw them listed on the ford parts website. It might cost you to ship them here from the uk, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
