Bilstein 22-226648 Suspension Strut Assembly - Front

Bilstein B6 Front Strut Assembly

The Bilstein B6 front suspension strut assembly is built for drivers who want more controlled handling and a more composed ride from their Dodge Sprinter 2500 or Sprinter 3500. Part number 22-226648 is tuned for the specific application and uses Bilstein’s monotube shock technology with a velocity-sensitive digressive piston for consistent response on changing road surfaces.

Finished in yellow paint, this B6 series strut assembly is a direct-fit suspension component for the front position on select 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter vans, including Super High Ceiling models.

Application Details

Bilstein 22-226648 is engineered for the front suspension of the Dodge Sprinter 2500 and Dodge Sprinter 3500. It is a fitment-specific replacement for 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500, front, Super High Ceiling Model; B6, and 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 3500, front, Super High Ceiling Model; B6. This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 904 320 07 30 and 904 320 08 30 for the same application.

The B6 line is positioned for drivers who want improved ride control without changing the vehicle’s basic suspension layout. On a Dodge Sprinter 2500 or Sprinter 3500, part number 22-226648 helps maintain consistent damping under load and over repeated bumps, which is important for vans that see frequent highway use, delivery duty, or mixed-road driving.

What This Part Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce after bumps
• Loose or unsettled steering feel
• Reduced control over rough pavement
• Inconsistent damping as suspension temperatures rise
• Worn front strut performance on high-mileage Sprinter vans

Installation Notes

Verify front-position fitment before installation and confirm the vehicle is a 2003-2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 or Dodge Sprinter 3500 with the Super High Ceiling Model configuration. Inspect related suspension components, including mounts and hardware condition, before replacing the strut assembly. Because the upper mount is stem style and the lower mount is special, compare the original unit to the replacement part before beginning service.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein designs the B6 series around application-specific tuning and consistent damping performance. The monotube construction and digressive piston design are used to support predictable handling, ride quality, and comfort in daily driving and load-bearing use.
