Detailed Description

The Bilstein B6 Performance shock absorber is built as an OE-style upgrade for drivers who want firmer control without changing the factory spring setup. Its monotube construction and tuned valving are intended to improve handling performance and safety while maintaining the fit and function expected from a direct replacement damper. This part number 24-254496 is listed for Volvo XC90 front applications, including 2016 models without electronic suspension and 2017 models up to chassis/VIN 140100. Bilstein 24-254496 is part of the B6 Performance line, which focuses on controlled damping and OE-level quality testing.

Common Issues It May Address

  • Excessive body motion during braking, cornering, or lane changes.
  • Reduced damping control from worn OE shock absorbers.
  • Unstable ride feel on factory-spring suspension setups.
  • Loss of steering precision caused by tired suspension damping.

Installation Notes

Install as a replacement damper for the listed Volvo XC90 front fitments. Verify whether the vehicle has electronic suspension and confirm chassis/VIN applicability before ordering. Use the factory spring configuration specified for the B6 Performance design. Part number 24-254496 should be matched to the exact application shown in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein states that B6 Performance dampers are tested to meet or exceed OE standards. The B6 Performance line is engineered for application-specific control and consistent quality.
