Bilstein 24-184663 Suspension Shock Absorber - Rear

Bilstein B6 Rear Shock Absorber

The Bilstein B6 rear shock absorber, part number 24-184663, is built for drivers who want more controlled suspension response without changing the factory ride height. It uses Bilstein’s B6 monotube construction and a velocity-sensitive digressive piston to maintain consistent damping as road conditions change.

Compatible with rear suspension applications on Ford E-250 Econoline, Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon, Ford E-350 Econoline, and Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon models with standard suspension, this rear shock is tuned for the specific application to support stable handling and improved comfort.

Key Features

• Bilstein B6 series rear shock absorber for suspension performance upgrades
• Monotube internal design for consistent fade-resistant damping
• Velocity-sensitive digressive piston reacts to changing road inputs
• Yellow painted finish with blue straight boot included
• Lower mount type: eye 12.7mm; upper mount type: stem
• Application-specific tuning for rear suspension use
• Part number 24-184663 for easy identification

Product Details

Bilstein B6 shocks are engineered around a monotube layout that helps maintain damping consistency during repeated suspension movement. The digressive piston design changes response based on road conditions, which helps the rear suspension stay composed over uneven pavement, load shifts, and everyday driving. For Ford E-Series vans, including the E-250 Econoline and E-350 Econoline platforms, this rear shock absorber is a direct-fit service part for standard suspension applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. If you are replacing worn rear shocks on a Ford E-250 Econoline, Ford E-350 Econoline, or related Club Wagon model, 24-184663 provides a focused suspension replacement option from the Bilstein B6 line.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce after bumps
• Reduced control during lane changes or cornering
• Harsh or inconsistent damping from worn shock absorbers
• Rear suspension instability on older Ford E-Series vans
• Loss of ride comfort caused by tired rear shocks

Installation Notes

Verify rear position, standard suspension configuration, and mount style before installation. This shock uses an eye 12.7mm lower mount and stem upper mount, so confirm the vehicle’s existing hardware and mounting points match part number 24-184663. Professional installation and a post-installation inspection of suspension bushings, mounts, and related wear items are recommended.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B6 shocks are tuned for each specific application and built with a monotube design to support consistent damping performance over time. The B6 line is intended for drivers seeking a controlled suspension replacement for rear Ford E-250 Econoline and E-350 Econoline applications.
