Bilstein 24-014779 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front

Bilstein B6 4600 Front Shock Absorber

The Bilstein B6 4600 shock absorber is a direct-fit upgrade for stock-height light trucks and SUVs that need more controlled ride quality. This front shock uses Bilstein’s monotube design and application-specific valving to deliver consistent damping on rough pavement and changing road surfaces.

Built for 1991-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser front and 1996-1997 Lexus LX450 front applications, part number 24-014779 is tuned to improve handling response without changing the vehicle’s stock ride height. The B6 4600 line focuses on OE-style fitment with firmer control for daily driving and load-carrying use.

Key Features

• Direct-fit front suspension shock absorber for stock-height trucks and SUVs
• Monotube internal design for consistent, fade-resistant damping
• Velocity-sensitive digressive piston reacts to changing road conditions
• Non-adjustable damping for application-specific performance
• Stem upper mount and stem lower mount configuration
• Blue straight boot included; yellow painted finish
• Bilstein B6 4600 series, part number 24-014779

Detailed Description

Bilstein B6 4600 shocks are engineered as OE replacement upgrades for drivers who want tighter body control, improved comfort, and more predictable handling from a stock-height suspension. The monotube construction helps maintain stable performance under repeated compression, while the digressive piston design responds to road inputs with the right level of damping for the application. This makes the 24-014779 a practical choice for restoring front-end control on a Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus LX450.

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

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce over bumps
• Loose or unsettled steering feel
• Reduced ride control on stock-height suspension
• Harsh or inconsistent damping from worn OE shocks
• Front suspension instability during braking and cornering

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible with 1991-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, front and 1996-1997 Lexus LX450, front. Verify mount style, ride height, and application details before installation. Inspect related suspension components such as bushings, mounts, and springs so the new shock absorber can perform as intended.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B6 4600 shocks are tuned for specific vehicle applications and built with a monotube design to support consistent damping performance. Part number 24-014779 is part of Bilstein’s B6 4600 line for stock-height light truck and SUV suspension service.
