Vehicle Fitment

• 2014-2019 Ford Escape S (C520, FWD, 1.6L I4 EcoBoost / 2.5L I4)
• 2014-2019 Ford Escape SE (C520, FWD/AWD, 1.6L I4 EcoBoost / 2.0L I4 EcoBoost)

• 2014-2019 Ford Escape Titanium (C520, FWD/AWD, 1.5L I4 EcoBoost / 2.0L I4 EcoBoost)

Fitment Notes

• This is the front RIGHT (passenger side) strut assembly only - the front LEFT side requires Bilstein 22-298942
• Fits both FWD and AWD Ford Escape variants across all supported model years and trim levels
• Applies to 2014+ C520-generation Escape only - note that a front strut design change occurred during the 2014-2015 production run (small-diameter end coil); this part number covers the revised specification used from early 2015 onward, though Vivid Racing and ShockWarehouse catalog it for full 2014-2019 fitment
• Not recommended for use with lowering springs - engineered to restore OE factory ride height and ride quality
• Fixed spring seat is integrated into the strut - the factory front coil spring mounts directly to this unit
• Dust boot not included - reuse factory boot or source separately
• Sold individually - two units required for a complete front axle replacement

Features

• Twin-tube gas-pressurized design delivers consistent, OE-matched damping performance calibrated specifically for the C520 Ford Escape front suspension geometry - restoring the original ride quality, steering response, and handling stability of this popular compact crossover
• Stem upper mount and bracket lower mount correspond precisely to the C520 Escape front strut attachment points - direct bolt-on installation using existing hardware with no modifications required
• Integrated fixed spring seat ensures correct front suspension geometry and coil spring seating, maintaining proper ride height and wheel alignment with factory springs
• Gas-charged twin-tube construction prevents oil foaming under sustained front suspension damping cycles, maintaining stable and consistent performance over the full service life of the strut
• Compatible with all C520 Escape engine variants - 1.5L EcoBoost, 1.6L EcoBoost, 2.0L EcoBoost, and 2.5L NA - across both FWD and AWD drivetrains
• Engineered to meet or exceed Ford's original equipment specifications for damping force, travel, and load capacity on the C520 platform
• Black painted finish provides corrosion resistance for reliable all-weather performance
• Backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects for gas pressure shock absorbers and struts

Product Description

The Bilstein 22-298959 is a B4 OE Replacement front right strut assembly engineered specifically for the 2014-2019 Ford Escape (C520 platform) across all trim levels and both FWD and AWD drivetrain configurations. Using a twin-tube gas-pressurized design with an integrated fixed spring seat, this strut is calibrated to the factory front suspension specifications of the C520 Escape - restoring the smooth, controlled ride quality and confident front-end handling that the Escape was designed to deliver across its full range of daily driving conditions.

The 22-298959 covers the front RIGHT (passenger side) position only; the left side requires Bilstein 22-298942. The strut fits all C520-generation Escape trims from the base S through the Titanium, and all engine variants including the 1.5L and 1.6L EcoBoost, 2.0L EcoBoost, and 2.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder. Both FWD and AWD-equipped Escapes use the same front strut assembly. The integrated fixed spring seat carries the factory front coil spring directly, maintaining correct ride height without additional components.

The twin-tube gas-pressurized construction resists oil foaming during sustained front damping cycles, maintaining consistent performance over the Escape's full service life. The factory dust boot is not included and should be reused or sourced separately. This strut is not recommended for use with aftermarket lowering springs and is calibrated for OE factory ride height. It is backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects.
