Product Line Details

Bilstein B4 OE Replacement dampers are focused on restoring factory ride characteristics rather than changing suspension behavior. For drivers looking for a direct OE-style replacement, the B4 line is built to maintain the original balance of comfort, control, and handling expected from the vehicle.

Detailed Description

This Bilstein shock absorber and strut assembly, part number 22-282682, is a direct-fit suspension replacement for the rear left position on the 2008-2013 Toyota Highlander. It uses a twintube design with a stem upper mount and bracket lower mount, making it a practical choice for replacing a worn rear strut while keeping the vehicle close to factory specifications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear bounce or oscillation
• Reduced ride control over bumps and dips
• Uneven rear suspension response
• Noise or harshness from a worn strut assembly
• Loss of factory-like handling feel in a Toyota Highlander

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left fitment before installation on 2008-2013 Toyota Highlander models. Compare the mounting style, position, and overall length of the original unit to part number 22-282682 before removal. Because the boot is not included, inspect the existing dust protection and related suspension components during service.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B4 OE Replacement dampers are engineered to meet or exceed OE standards for fit and function. The 22-282682 strut assembly is built for consistent replacement performance on the Toyota Highlander platform.
