Bilstein 33-292984 Steering Damper - Front

Bilstein B8 5100 Steering Damper Overview

The Bilstein B8 5100 Steering Damper, part number 33-292984, is an upgrade for factory steering dampers on trucks and SUVs. It is built to reduce small steering movements and steering vibration, which is especially noticeable on higher-mileage vehicles and on-road or off-road Jeep Wrangler use.

Designed for the front steering damper position, this Bilstein B8 5100 (Steering Damper) uses a monotube internal design and a 46mm ID smooth body for consistent damping response. The zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance for harsh driving conditions, and the eye-to-eye 12.7mm mounts match the B8 5100 series layout.
