Q: 05 Ford Escape rusted out shock Tower can it be fixed

Yes, the spring/strut tower can be repaired but evaluate the rest of the frame to be sure it is worth it. If other components are structurally compromised and/or if the fuel and brake lines are rusty, just keep in mind that it is likely that lots of additional repairs will be required. However, if the rust is localized, just in that tower, then it might be worth repairing. First, check to be sure it is not just simply a rusted out strut bearing. That is a modular replaceable component, bolted to the top of the tower, and you can just replace that. If the tower itself is perforated and deteriorated, basically a welder can add metal sheet to the top and sides to reinforce and recreate the structure. A local welder can accomplish that and most big cities have at least one facility where vehicle frame repairs are made. If you want this issue inspected and a more detailed evaluation and recommendation, please request a suspension/frame inspection.
