Installation Notes and Tips
Installation of the Bilstein B6 4600 shock absorber (24-186094) requires standard suspension tools and mechanical knowledge. Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before removing the old shocks. Verify that the 14.4mm eyelet mounts align correctly with the vehicle’s suspension points.
