Product Details

Bilstein 24-286459 is a rear suspension shock absorber for the Mini Cooper Countryman, 2017-2024, without electronic suspension. The B6 Performance line focuses on improving vehicle control and safety through tuned damping and a monotube construction that helps maintain stable performance under demanding road conditions. This shock absorber is a direct-fit performance replacement for drivers who want firmer, more controlled rear suspension behavior without changing the factory spring setup. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over bumps
• Reduced body control during cornering
• Soft or worn OE shock performance
• Unstable ride feel on uneven pavement
• Loss of damping consistency from aging suspension components

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2017-2024 Mini Cooper Countryman, rear, without electronic suspension. Verify the upper stem mount and lower eye 14.1mm mount before installation. Use the OE factory spring as specified for the B6 Performance application, and confirm that the vehicle does not use electronic suspension before ordering. Part number 24-286459 should be matched to the exact rear application listed for the vehicle.
