Bilstein 24-266664 Suspension Shock Absorber - Rear

Bilstein B6 Rear Shock for Explorer

The Bilstein B6 rear shock absorber is built for drivers who want more controlled suspension response without changing the vehicle’s basic setup. This Bilstein B6 shock absorber, part number 24-266664, is tuned for the application and uses a monotube design with a velocity-sensitive digressive piston for consistent damping on changing road surfaces.

Compatible with 2011-2019 Ford Explorer rear applications, this shock is a direct-fit suspension upgrade for owners looking to restore or improve ride control on the Ford Explorer. The yellow-painted finish, black straight boot, stem upper mount, and fork lower mount reflect the OE-style mounting layout for the listed rear position.
