Bilstein 24-244329 Suspension Shock Absorber - Rear

Performance Rear Shock Absorber

Bilstein B8 Performance Plus shock absorber 24-244329 is built for drivers upgrading suspension with lowering springs. It uses application-specific valving and a monotube design to improve handling response while maintaining OE-level quality standards.

• Monotube internal design for consistent damping response.
• Application-specific valve settings for matched performance tuning.
• Yellow painted finish from the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus series.
• Lower eye mount with 10.2 mm eyelet and upper stem mount.
• Fits Mercedes-Benz GLA250 and Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG rear applications.

Detailed Fitment and Use

Fits 2015-2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA250, rear. Fits 2015-2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG, rear. This Bilstein shock absorber is intended for suspension setups using aftermarket lowering springs, where firmer control and more precise damping are needed. The 24-244329 part number is also referenced as 273885 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body motion after lowering the suspension.
• Soft or inconsistent damping response from worn shocks.
• Reduced handling precision during cornering and lane changes.
• Mismatch between lowering springs and standard OE dampers.
• Loss of control feel in rear suspension operation.

Installation Notes and Quality

Verify rear fitment, mount style, and electronic suspension status before installation. This shock absorber uses a stem upper mount and an eye-type lower mount, so the existing suspension configuration must match the part. Bilstein tests B8 Performance Plus dampers to meet or exceed OE standards, and the series is engineered as a performance-oriented upgrade for lowered applications.
