Product Details

The Bilstein B4 OE Replacement line is engineered for drivers who want suspension performance that matches original equipment standards. On the Land Rover Defender 90, rear shock control affects ride comfort, body motion, and road feel, and this damper is built to return those characteristics without changing the vehicle’s original behavior. Part number 19-218724 is a direct OE-replacement choice for the rear position on the listed Defender 90 fitments.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce after bumps
• Reduced damping control at the rear axle
• Worn or leaking original shock absorber replacement
• Loss of factory ride comfort on a Land Rover Defender 90
• Rear suspension instability over uneven pavement

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment before installation: 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 rear, and 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 rear from chassis/VIN SA967603. Confirm bar pin mount style and compare the removed shock absorber to the new unit before assembly. Professional installation and a post-installation suspension inspection are recommended.
