Bilstein 22-266637 Suspension Strut Assembly - Front Left

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.
