Detailed Product Description

The Bilstein shock absorber 24-247252 belongs to the B6 Performance series, which is tailored to provide enhanced suspension performance for vehicles like the Volkswagen Vanagon. The monotube design improves heat dissipation compared to twin-tube shocks, maintaining consistent damping under demanding conditions. The shock features a yellow painted finish that helps resist corrosion and wear over time. Both the upper and lower mounts use 12.0mm eyelets, ensuring a precise and secure fitment. Additionally, the included blue straight boot protects the piston rod from dirt and debris, extending the service life of the shock absorber.
