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.
