This part number, 24-017855, is engineered to improve handling and safety characteristics while maintaining the factory spring package. The monotube design helps deliver more controlled damping behavior, and the valving is tuned for the specific application rather than a generic fit. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible With Saab 9000 rear suspension applications, including 1988-1989 Saab 9000 rear and 1990-1993 Saab 9000 rear without self-leveling suspension.

This shock uses a stem upper mount and a 12 mm eye lower mount, so the mounting points must match the vehicle. For 1990-1993 Saab 9000 applications, verify that the car does not have self-leveling suspension. Always inspect related suspension components, including springs and mounting bushings, during replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBilstein tests each B6 Performance damper to meet or exceed OE standards for quality and consistency.
