Bilstein 24-225007 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front

Bilstein B6 Front Shock Absorber

The Bilstein B6 front shock absorber, part number 24-225007, is built for Freightliner XC chassis applications with Neway IFS front suspension. It uses a monotube design and a velocity-sensitive digressive piston to deliver consistent damping as road conditions change.

For Freightliner XC Lowered Rail, XC Modular Rail, XC Raised Rail, XC Straight Rail, XC Formed Rail, and XC chassis applications, the B6 series is tuned for the specific fitment to support ride quality, handling, and comfort. The yellow-painted finish and blue straight boot are part of the Bilstein B6 shock absorber design.

Key Features

• Monotube internal design for consistent fade-free performance.
• Velocity-sensitive digressive piston reacts to changing road inputs.
• Tuned for specific Freightliner chassis applications.
• Eye-to-eye mounting with 19.1 mm upper and lower mounts.
• Front suspension shock absorber for Neway IFS-equipped chassis.

Detailed Description

Bilstein B6 shock absorbers are engineered as application-specific replacements for heavy-duty suspension service. This part number 24-225007 is a front shock absorber for Freightliner XC chassis variants, including XC Lowered Rail, XC Modular Rail, XC Raised Rail, XC Straight Rail, XC Formed Rail, and XC, all listed with Neway IFS front suspension. The monotube construction helps maintain stable damping performance, while the digressive piston design responds to changing road conditions for controlled ride behavior. If you are servicing a Freightliner XC Straight Rail or related XC chassis, 24-225007 provides a direct-fit suspension solution within the B6 line.

What It Is Used For

• Excessive bouncing or oscillation in the front suspension.
• Reduced handling control on uneven roads.
• Inconsistent damping performance as shocks wear.
• Ride harshness or loss of comfort from worn suspension components.
• Front suspension service on Neway IFS-equipped Freightliner XC chassis.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify chassis type, suspension configuration, and mounting style before installation. This part uses eye-to-eye mounting with 19.1 mm upper and lower mounts and is specified for front placement. Confirm the vehicle matches the listed Freightliner XC fitment and Neway IFS front suspension notes before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B6 shock absorbers are tuned for each specific application to support consistent performance across the listed fitments. Part number 24-225007 cross-references 272893 and 24225007 for the same application.
