Detailed Product Description

The Bilstein 24-274937 shock absorber features a smooth body design with a 46mm diameter, which is non-coilover style, ensuring compatibility with the suspension setup of Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty trucks. Its monotube internal design allows for efficient heat management, reducing fade during extended use. The shock includes a blue straight boot to protect the piston rod from dirt and debris, extending the service life. The yellow paint finish provides corrosion resistance and a distinctive look.

Applications and Problem Solving

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Bilstein 24-274937 shock absorber requires matching the eye lower mount and stem upper mount to the vehicle’s suspension points. Ensure the vehicle is safely supported before removal of old shocks. No adjustable damping settings are needed as this is a non-adjustable unit. Verify the orientation of the blue boot during installation to maintain proper protection of the piston rod.
