Absorber Mounting Rear > FORD ECOSPORT & FIESTA > 8V5Z-18A161-A > GENUINE PART (Ford Motor Company OE)

This is a Genuine OEM Rear Shock Absorber Upper Mount, identified by the Ford part number 8V5Z-18A161-A. This component is a factory-original part designed for the rear suspension of the Ford EcoSport (including the 1.5cc variant) and the Ford Fiesta, which share the same underlying B-Car platform.

 
The mount is referred to as the "Upper Mount" or "Bracket - Shock Absorber" in Ford's catalog and serves several crucial functions:

Structural Support: Securely fastens the top of the rear shock absorber to the vehicle's body structure.
NVH Isolation: The integrated rubber absorbs high-frequency vibrations and impact noise from the road, preventing them from being transmitted into the cabin.
Note on Universality: The part number 8V5Z-18A161-A is consistently cross-referenced as being universal for the rear axle. This means the same Genuine part is used for both the Rear Left (Driver Side) and Rear Right (Passenger Side) of the EcoSport and Fiesta.

 
Compatibility Note: While the part fits both EcoSport and Fiesta, some listings indicate a specific application for EcoSport models "with AWD." However, the mount is generally common across many 2WD and 4WD/AWD variants on this platform. Using the VIN is always the most reliable way to confirm fitment.

Using the Genuine Part (8V5Z-18A161-A) ensures:

Guaranteed Fitment and Reliability: Manufactured by Ford to meet the exact load and geometry requirements of the vehicle.
Optimal Ride Quality: Ensures the vehicle maintains its factory-intended comfort and handling characteristics.
