Product Details

Bilstein B6 Performance dampers are built to work with the OE factory spring while improving suspension control over worn or softer original shocks. For the 2011-2018 Porsche Cayenne rear and 2011-2017 Volkswagen Touareg rear, this shock absorber helps restore stable body control, steering precision, and road feel. The monotube design supports more consistent performance under repeated suspension movement, making 24-197083 a practical choice for rear suspension service on these platforms.

This part cross-references Porsche and Volkswagen OE numbers, including 955 333 051 30 and 7P6 513 029 AN, for the same application.
