Detailed Description

Bilstein 19-302768 is a suspension shock absorber designed to replace an OE damper while working with the factory spring. Its application-specific valving is intended to refine body control, steering response, and road holding characteristics. The twintube construction, stem upper mount, and clevis lower mount make it a fitment-specific solution for the listed application, including select Honda Civic configurations where this part number is specified.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application. If you are searching for Bilstein B6 Performance shocks for Honda Civic suspension service, 19-302768 is the part number to verify against your vehicle’s original damper dimensions and mounting style.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce or weak damping from a worn OE shock absorber
• Loose or unsettled handling during cornering and lane changes
• Reduced ride control over uneven pavement
• Suspension response that feels less precise than factory specification
• Need for a performance-oriented replacement that retains the OE spring

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the upper stem mount, lower clevis mount, collapsed length, and extended length before installation. This shock absorber includes a spring seat and does not include a boot. Confirm that the vehicle uses the OE factory spring and compare the original damper dimensions to part number 19-302768 before assembly.

For fitment-based searches, this part is commonly referenced for Honda Civic suspension applications where the OE mounting style matches the Bilstein specification. Always match the physical dimensions and mounting points to the original unit before installation.
