Bilstein B8 TerraSport Front Right Strut

Key Features

- Fits 2009-2013 Subaru Forester, front right

Product Details
The Bilstein B8 TerraSport line is tuned for crossover and SUV owners who want more clearance without giving up stable road manners. This 22-320247 strut uses a twintube design and application-specific valving to match the front right suspension geometry of the 2009-2013 Subaru Forester. The result is a suspension strut assembly that supports lifted ride height for back-road travel, snow-covered routes, and loaded weekend driving while preserving predictable handling on pavement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Addresses
- Front suspension sag on lifted Subaru Forester applications
- Reduced ground clearance on rough roads and trail access routes
- Loss of control or harshness from worn front right strut hardware
- Uneven ride height after suspension wear
- Need for a direct-fit replacement that matches the listed position
Installation Notes and Tips
Install at the front right position only on the listed Subaru Forester applications. Verify spring orientation, mount alignment, and ride height before final tightening. Because this is a suspension strut assembly, a professional alignment is recommended after installation. Confirm part number 22-320247 and vehicle fitment before assembly.
Quality Assurance
Bilstein tests and tunes B8 TerraSport applications individually to match the vehicle platform and intended use. Part number 22-320247 reflects that application-specific approach for the 2009-2013 Subaru Forester front right position.
