Product Details

Bilstein B4 OE Replacement dampers are engineered to meet or exceed OE standards while preserving the factory ride character of the vehicle. For the Kia Sportage, this rear shock absorber helps return the suspension to original performance levels without changing the intended driving feel. The twintube construction supports controlled damping, and the OE-style mounting configuration makes it a practical replacement for worn rear shocks on the Kia Sportage. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced control over rough pavement
• Rear-end instability during braking or cornering
• Uneven ride quality from worn suspension damping
• Noisy or harsh rear suspension behavior

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible with 1999-2002 Kia Sportage, rear standard suspension applications. Verify upper stem and lower eye 12mm mounting points before installation. Inspect related suspension components such as bushings, mounts, and springs while replacing the shock absorber. Professional installation is recommended for proper torque and alignment of the rear suspension.
