Bilstein B6 Front Left Strut for Ford Escape

The Bilstein B6 Performance strut assembly, part number 22-315748, is a direct suspension upgrade for the front left position on select Ford Escape models.

Product Details

Bilstein B6 Performance dampers are engineered as an OE damper upgrade for drivers who want firmer control and more consistent suspension response. This 22-315748 strut assembly uses a twintube design and application-specific valving to help the front suspension maintain better stability during braking, cornering, and everyday driving. It is a front left replacement for 2015-2019 Ford Escape models, and also fits 2014 Ford Escape front left vehicles built from production date 12/02/2013. 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
• Reduced steering precision on rough roads
• Uneven damping response from worn OE struts
• Body movement during braking and cornering
• Loss of ride control in the front left suspension

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2015-2019 Ford Escape, front left, and 2014 Ford Escape, front left, from production date 12/02/2013. Verify OE spring reuse, mount style, and production date before installation. The strut uses a stem upper mount and base cup lower mount, and no boot is included.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein states that B6 Performance dampers are rigorously tested to meet or exceed OE standards. The 22-315748 is part of the B6 Performance line, which focuses on controlled handling improvement while maintaining factory spring compatibility.
