Bilstein 24-002561 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front or Rear

Bilstein B6 4600 Rear Shock for Land Cruiser

The Bilstein B6 4600 shock absorber is a direct-fit upgrade for stock-height light trucks and SUVs. This rear shock for the 1981-1987 Toyota Land Cruiser is built around a monotube design and a velocity-sensitive digressive piston to deliver consistent damping as road conditions change.

Part number 24-002561 is tuned for this specific application to improve ride control, handling response, and comfort on the Toyota Land Cruiser rear suspension.

Key Features

• Direct-fit replacement for OE rear shock absorbers
• Monotube internal design for consistent fade-resistant performance
• Velocity-sensitive digressive piston reacts to changing road inputs
• Non-adjustable damping for application-specific tuning
• Blue straight boot included
• Yellow painted finish
• Eye 16mm upper and lower mounts

Detailed Description

Bilstein B6 4600 shocks are part of the B6 4600 line, a series focused on stock-height trucks and SUVs that need firmer control without changing suspension height. For the Toyota Land Cruiser, part number 24-002561 is engineered as a rear suspension shock absorber that helps maintain stable damping over rough pavement, washboard roads, and everyday driving. The monotube construction supports consistent performance, while the tuned piston design helps the shock respond appropriately to compression and rebound demands.

This part cross-references Rancho Shocks & Struts (e.g., RS999119) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce after bumps
• Loose or unsettled handling on uneven roads
• Reduced control from worn OE rear shocks
• Inconsistent damping during repeated suspension movement
• Ride quality decline on a stock-height Toyota Land Cruiser

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1981-1987 Toyota Land Cruiser, rear. Verify eye-to-eye mounting dimensions and suspension condition before installation. Replace shocks in pairs on the same axle for balanced damping, and inspect bushings, mounts, and surrounding hardware for wear before completing the job.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B6 4600 shocks are application-tuned for specific vehicle fitment and built with a monotube design to support consistent performance. Part number 24-002561 is intended for stock-height use on the rear of the Toyota Land Cruiser.
