Product Details

The Bilstein B6 Performance line is aimed at drivers who want a firmer, more controlled suspension response without changing the factory spring setup. This front right strut assembly uses a twintube design, a 22 mm shaft diameter, and fixed spring seat construction to support consistent damping performance. Bilstein tests each damper to meet or exceed OE standards, helping maintain predictable handling and safety on the road. This part number 22-287434 is a direct-fit suspension upgrade for the front right position on the Volvo XC40 and Volvo XC40 Recharge.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Excessive front-end bounce over bumps
• Reduced steering response during cornering
• Uneven ride control from a worn OE strut
• Noisy or unstable suspension behavior at the front right corner
• Loss of damping consistency on higher-mileage suspension systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this strut at the front right position only on confirmed Volvo XC40 and XC40 Recharge applications. Verify collapsed and extended length, mount style, and spring seat configuration before installation. Because this assembly is designed for use with the OE factory spring, transfer and inspect related suspension components as needed during service. Professional alignment is recommended after replacement.
