Product Details

Bilstein B4 OE Replacement dampers are engineered for drivers who want to return the vehicle to its original suspension behavior without changing the factory character. This strut assembly is built for the front right position and is listed for 2011-2017 BMW X3 and 2015-2018 BMW X4 models with standard suspension and without electronic suspension. The 22-197689 part number is also referenced for OE cross-application use, including BMW 31 31 6 796 316 and 31 31 6 796 410.

For BMW X3 and BMW X4 owners, this Bilstein Shock Absorbers strut supports OE-style ride control, steering response, and road feel while matching the original suspension layout. It is a practical replacement when the factory strut has lost damping performance or ride consistency.

What This Strut Helps Address

  • Excessive bouncing after bumps
  • Uneven or inconsistent front-end ride quality
  • Reduced damping control from a worn strut
  • Noisy or unstable suspension behavior at the front right corner
  • Loss of factory handling feel on BMW X3 and BMW X4 models
