Bilstein 22-278388 Suspension Strut Assembly - Front Right

Bilstein B6 Front Right Strut Assembly

The Bilstein B6 suspension strut assembly is built for drivers who want more controlled ride quality and sharper handling from their Subaru suspension. This front right unit for the Subaru Crosstrek and XV Crosstrek uses Bilstein’s application-specific tuning to deliver consistent response on the road.

Part number 22-278388 is a Bilstein B6 shock absorber and strut assembly with a yellow painted finish and non-adjustable damping. It is engineered with a monotube design for fade-resistant performance and a velocity-sensitive digressive piston that reacts to changing road conditions. This B6 series strut is a direct-fit suspension replacement for the front right position on select Subaru models.

Fitment Details

Compatible with 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek, front right. Compatible with 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, front right. Part number 22-278388 is listed for these Subaru applications and should be matched to the vehicle’s original suspension configuration before ordering.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive body movement over bumps and uneven pavement
• Loose or unsettled front-end handling
• Reduced ride control from worn suspension components
• Inconsistent damping response during daily driving
• Front right suspension noise or ride quality decline associated with worn struts

Installation Notes

Install on the front right corner only where the vehicle application matches the listed fitment. Verify mount style, position, and suspension layout before installation. Because this is a non-adjustable strut assembly, no damping tuning is required during setup. Professional installation and a post-installation alignment are recommended after replacing front suspension components.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B6 struts are tuned for each specific application to support consistent performance and ride control. The monotube design and digressive piston architecture are used to maintain stable damping response across changing road conditions. Part number 22-278388 is built as a direct replacement for the listed Subaru Crosstrek and XV Crosstrek front right applications.
