B8 TerraSport Product Line

Bilstein B8 TerraSport is the brand’s tuning-focused line for CUVs that see mixed on-road and off-road use. This part number, 22-320209, is tuned for the front left corner to improve clearance and support back-country driving without changing the vehicle’s basic suspension layout.

Fitment Details

• Fits 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, front left. Provides 1.5" front lift; B8 TerraSport.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Low ground clearance on lifted Subaru Crosstrek and XV Crosstrek builds
• Reduced suspension control on rough roads and trail surfaces
• Ride quality loss after upgrading for more clearance
• Front-end suspension wear from frequent mixed-surface driving
• Need for a direct-fit front left replacement with application-specific tuning

Installation Notes

Install on the front left corner only and verify vehicle year, model, and position before ordering. Because this is a strut assembly with a fixed spring seat, confirm spring and mount condition during service and follow factory torque specifications during installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein tests and tunes B8 TerraSport dampers for each application, with the goal of matching the vehicle’s intended use and suspension geometry. Part number 22-320209 is engineered for the listed Subaru fitments and built for consistent performance in daily driving and off-pavement conditions.
