Bilstein 24-010269 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front or Rear

Bilstein B6 Rear Auxiliary Shock Absorber

The Bilstein B6 shock absorber, part number 24-010269, is built for drivers who want more controlled suspension response from a rear auxiliary application. With a monotube design and application-specific valving, it delivers consistent damping for classic Chevrolet and GMC vans, Blazer, Jimmy, and Suburban models.

Bilstein B6 shocks are tuned for the vehicle they serve, helping maintain predictable ride quality and handling on the road. This rear auxiliary shock absorber uses a velocity-sensitive digressive piston to react to changing road conditions with stable, fade-resistant performance.

Detailed Description

The Bilstein B6 line is focused on improving suspension control without changing the vehicle’s basic ride character. For rear auxiliary use, this shock absorber is engineered to support stable handling and more consistent comfort on compatible Chevrolet G10, G20, G30, GMC G1500, G2500, and G3500 applications, along with select Blazer, Jimmy, Suburban, and K-series models.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the mounting style before installation: this unit uses eye 12.75mm upper and lower mounts. Confirm whether your vehicle is a rear auxiliary or front mounting application, and check the notes for dual rear wheels, single rear wheels, or electronic suspension exclusions before ordering. For best results, replace shocks in axle pairs and inspect bushings, mounts, and surrounding suspension components during service.

Quality Assurance
