Detailed Description

This suspension strut assembly is engineered for drivers replacing worn OE dampers on the front right side of select Ford Explorer and Ford Police Interceptor Utility models. Bilstein 22-266606 is part of the B4 OE Replacement line, which is aimed at restoring factory ride characteristics without changing the vehicle’s original suspension behavior. The part number 22-266606 is also referenced in OE-style interchange listings for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive bouncing or reduced damping control
  • Uneven ride quality from a worn strut assembly
  • Handling changes caused by aging suspension components
  • Noisy or loose-feeling front suspension operation
  • Loss of factory ride comfort and steering response
