Bilstein B6 Front Strut Assembly for Passat

The Bilstein B6 Performance strut assembly is a direct OE-style upgrade for the front suspension on 1992-1997 Volkswagen Passat models. Built around application-specific valving and a monotube damper design, it is engineered to sharpen handling response while working with the factory spring.

Part number 22-247513 is a front suspension strut assembly for Volkswagen Passat applications, with Bilstein yellow paint finish and OE-level testing for consistent performance. If you are replacing worn front dampers on a Volkswagen Passat, 22-247513 provides a focused suspension refresh without changing the factory spring setup.

Performance Line Details

Bilstein B6 Performance dampers are positioned as an OE replacement upgrade for drivers who want firmer, more controlled suspension behavior while retaining the original spring package. For the Volkswagen Passat front suspension, this line is built to improve handling feel and safety-related control characteristics without requiring a spring change. Part number 22-247513 follows that approach for 1992-1997 Volkswagen Passat front applications.

What This Strut Assembly Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce after hitting bumps
• Reduced steering precision from worn OE dampers
• Nose dive during braking
• Loose or unsettled front suspension feel
• Uneven damping performance from aging struts

Installation Notes
