Product Details

Bilstein B6 Performance dampers are built as an OE-style performance upgrade for drivers who want firmer control without changing the factory spring setup. For BMW 528i and BMW 530i rear suspension applications, part number 24-007306 is engineered to improve stability, steering response, and overall road control through a monotube design and vehicle-specific damping calibration. This rear shock absorber is tested to meet or exceed OE standards and reflects Bilstein’s focus on consistent suspension performance.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over uneven pavement
• Reduced body control during cornering and lane changes
• Soft or worn factory damping response
• Rear suspension instability under normal road use
• Loss of consistent ride control on aging BMW 528i and 530i models

Installation Notes

Fits 1979-1981 BMW 528i, rear. Fits 1975-1978 BMW 530i, rear. Verify mount style, suspension configuration, and OE spring compatibility before installation. The stem upper mount and 14mm eye lower mount should match the vehicle’s original shock attachment points. Professional installation and a post-installation inspection are recommended.
