Bilstein B6 Front Right Strut

The Bilstein B6 suspension strut assembly is built for drivers who want more controlled ride quality and sharper handling from a direct-fit replacement. This part number 22-266620 is engineered for the front right position and is compatible with 2011-2019 Ford Explorer applications listed below.

Key Features

  • Monotube design for consistent, fade-free damping.
  • Velocity-sensitive digressive piston responds to changing road conditions.
  • Non-adjustable damping for a fixed factory-style setup.
  • Yellow painted finish for easy identification.
  • Stem upper mount and bracket lower mount configuration.
  • B6 series tuning matched to the specific application.

Detailed Description

Bilstein B6 shock absorbers and struts are tuned for application-specific performance, with a monotube construction that helps maintain consistent damping under repeated use. The velocity-sensitive digressive piston is designed to react quickly as road inputs change, supporting more stable handling and improved comfort. On Ford Explorer fitments, part number 22-266620 serves the front right position and is listed for 2011-2019 models.

The B6 line focuses on controlled suspension response without adjustable settings, making it a straightforward replacement for buyers seeking a firmer, more composed feel. If you are replacing a worn Ford Explorer front right strut, 22-266620 provides a direct application-specific option from Bilstein.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring ride control when the original strut is worn or leaking.
  • Reducing excess bounce, float, or harsh suspension response.
  • Improving handling stability during cornering and lane changes.
  • Addressing uneven damping response on higher-mileage suspension systems.

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, front right. Confirm the stem upper mount and bracket lower mount configuration before installation. Verify that the non-adjustable B6 strut matches the intended suspension setup for your vehicle. Part number 22-266620 should be matched to the listed application before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B6 struts are application-tuned and built around a monotube design for consistent performance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., BB5Z 18124-C, BB5Z 18124-D) for the same application.
