Bilstein B6 Suspension Strut Assembly

The Bilstein B6 suspension strut assembly is built for drivers who want more controlled ride behavior and consistent damping response. This part number 22-266637 is tuned for its specific application and uses Bilstein’s monotube technology to maintain fade-free performance under changing road conditions.

Key Features

  • Monotube design for consistent damping response.
  • Velocity-sensitive digressive piston reacts to changing road conditions.
  • Non-adjustable damping for a direct, application-specific setup.
  • Yellow painted finish.
  • Stem upper mount and bracket lower mount configuration.
  • Bilstein B6 Series engineering for suspension performance.

Detailed Description

Bilstein B6 part number 22-266637 is a suspension strut assembly engineered for the Ford Explorer platform listed in the fitment data. The B6 line is tuned for each specific application, and this strut uses a monotube internal design with a velocity-sensitive digressive piston to help maintain stable response as road conditions change. For Ford Explorer owners looking for a direct suspension replacement, this Bilstein strut supports improved ride quality, handling, and comfort without adjustable damping.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., BB5Z 18124-A, DB5Z-18124-AE) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring controlled suspension response when the original strut is worn.
  • Reducing inconsistent damping behavior over rough or changing pavement.
  • Addressing excess body motion that affects handling feel.
  • Replacing a strut with mounting points that no longer perform correctly.

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, front left. Verify the mount style, damping type, and application details before installation. The part number 22-266637 should be matched to the listed fitment and position to confirm correct selection for the Ford Explorer.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B6 products are application-tuned suspension components built around a monotube design and a digressive piston for consistent performance.
