Detailed Description

Bilstein B6 Performance dampers are built as an OE spring pairing upgrade for drivers who want firmer control without changing the factory spring setup. This rear shock absorber uses Bilstein’s monotube construction to help maintain stable damping performance under repeated suspension movement, which is important for Porsche 944 rear shock replacement and Porsche 968 rear suspension service. The 24-020527 shock absorber is engineered for the rear position and is finished in Bilstein’s signature yellow paint.

Compatible With 1984 Porsche 944 rear from 9/1984, 1985-1991 Porsche 944 rear, 1987-1988 Porsche 924 rear, and 1992-1995 Porsche 968 rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over uneven pavement
• Reduced body control during cornering and lane changes
• Worn OE shock performance on aging Porsche suspension systems
• Inconsistent damping response from tired factory dampers
• Rear suspension instability during braking and acceleration transitions

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this shock absorber at the rear position only and verify the eye-to-eye mount sizes before assembly. Because this B6 Performance damper is designed to work with the OE factory spring, it is a strong choice for stock-height suspension service on Porsche 924, 944, and 968 models. Confirm vehicle year breakpoints carefully, including the 1984 Porsche 944 application from 9/1984.

Quality Assurance

Each Bilstein B6 Performance damper is rigorously tested to meet or exceed OE standards. Bilstein’s monotube design and application-specific tuning support consistent performance and the brand’s established reputation for suspension engineering.
