Detailed Description

Bilstein 24-632799 is part of the B6 Performance line, built as a direct upgrade over OE dampers while retaining the factory spring. The monotube construction helps deliver more precise damping control, and the valving is matched to the application for improved handling and stability.

The part number 24-632799 is also referenced as 24632799.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn shock absorbers that allow excess bounce or poor control.
• Reducing body motion during braking, cornering, and uneven-road driving.
• Restoring suspension response when the original damper no longer performs correctly.
• Improving front-end control on a Volkswagen Transporter suspension service.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify fitment by year, make, model, and front position before installation. This shock absorber uses eye-to-eye mounting with 12.0 mm upper and lower mounts, so confirm the existing suspension hardware and mounting points match the part. The B6 Performance design is intended for use with the OE factory spring.
