Need a new shock absorber on my Champion Escort. Anyone know which shock I need? It’s a Progressive brand but that all the info I can read. Escort is a 2011 if it matters. Thanks.
I am also searching for a new one. Mine sprung a leak Sunday and now is a pogo stick!
Removed it a few minutes ago and here is what I have, it is 12 1/2 inches long, roughly 318mm, it has an eye top and bottom, inside measure is 15mm. I cannot find a shock with coilover that has that large eye, everything I find is only 10mm diameer. Hope this helps you search, please advise if you find anything close
Bob, I was about to call Progressive right before I found a person on Facebook that had to purchase two for his Escort and bought his extra just a few minutes ago. This is a picture of his ad and the model number is shown. It looks a bit different with the lower chrome piece. The model is 412-4218c. It has a heavier spring rating (a good thing for me) so you may be able to specify which spring you want if you order from Progressive. I should have it in a few days. If there’s a problem I’ll let you know. You might want to check out the 412 series on the Progressive website in the meantime.
I just logged back in to advise Champion has these in stock. $182.00 I looked all day for an alternative with very little luck so I bit the rotten lemon and ordered one.
I think that’s an excellent price for a single shock. And you know it will fit. Worth it.
