Bilstein 22-285959 Suspension Strut Assembly - Front

Bilstein B6 Front Strut Assembly

The Bilstein B6 front suspension strut assembly is built for drivers who want more controlled ride quality and sharper handling from their Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 or Sprinter 3500. Part number 22-285959 is tuned for the specific application and uses Bilstein’s monotube construction with a velocity-sensitive digressive piston for consistent damping over changing road surfaces.

Detailed Description

Bilstein B6 part number 22-285959 is a front suspension strut assembly engineered for 2015-2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 2015-2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 models. The B6 line focuses on application-specific tuning, giving this Mercedes-Benz Sprinter front strut a balanced response that supports improved ride control, handling precision, and cabin comfort. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or oscillation
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Reduced control over rough or uneven pavement
• Harsh ride quality from worn suspension components
• Fade in damping performance during extended driving

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2015-2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, front, and 2015-2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, front. Verify the existing mount style and suspension configuration before installation. Because this is a front strut assembly, replacement is typically performed in pairs to maintain even handling response across the front suspension. Confirm part number 22-285959 against the vehicle’s original equipment references before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein is known for application-specific suspension engineering, and the B6 series is built around consistent damping performance and controlled ride characteristics. Part number 22-285959 is designed to deliver the same type of front-end response expected from a Bilstein B6 shock absorber and strut assembly for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter applications.
