Product Details

The Bilstein B6 Performance line is positioned as a performance-oriented OE damper upgrade for drivers who want firmer control without changing the factory spring setup. Part number 24-626231 is engineered for the rear position on 2017-2024 Tesla 3 and 2020-2024 Tesla Y models without electronic suspension. This Bilstein shock absorber uses a monotube layout to help maintain damping consistency under repeated load, which is useful for daily driving, highway stability, and more controlled body motion.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Shock Absorber Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce after bumps or dips
• Loose or unsettled handling in Tesla 3 and Tesla Y rear suspension
• Reduced control from worn OE rear dampers
• Inconsistent ride quality during repeated suspension movement
• Need for a direct rear shock upgrade while retaining the factory spring

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2017-2024 Tesla 3, rear, without electronic suspension; and 2020-2024 Tesla Y, rear, without electronic suspension. Verify rear suspension configuration before ordering, since this damper is not listed for electronic suspension applications. Confirm mount style, compressed length, and extended length against the vehicle’s suspension geometry during installation. Part number 24-626231 is designed for OE spring pairing, so factory spring reuse is part of the intended setup.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein states that B6 Performance dampers are tested to meet or exceed OE standards. The monotube construction and application-specific tuning reflect Bilstein’s focus on controlled damping performance and consistent quality for Tesla 3 and Tesla Y rear suspension applications.
