Bilstein 35-116493 Suspension Strut Assembly - Front Right

Bilstein B6 Front Right Strut for Porsche 911

The Bilstein B6 Performance strut assembly is a direct performance upgrade for the OE damper and is designed to work with the factory spring. This front right unit for the Porsche 911 uses a monotube design and application-specific valving to improve handling response and road control.

Built for 1995-1998 Porsche 911 front right applications, part number 35-116493 combines Bilstein engineering with a zinc-plated finish and blue bellows boot. It is a focused suspension replacement for drivers looking to restore control and sharpen chassis behavior without changing the OE spring setup.

Product Details

The Bilstein B6 Performance line is aimed at drivers who want a firmer, more controlled suspension feel while retaining the factory spring package.

Part number 35-116493 is tested to meet or exceed OE standards for quality and durability.

This part cross-references Porsche OE numbers 993 343 042 04 and 993 343 042 06 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float
• Reduced steering response in the Porsche 911
• Uneven damping performance from worn OE struts
• Loss of chassis control during braking and cornering
• Need for a direct OE-spring performance upgrade

Installation Notes

Install on the front right position only for the listed Porsche 911 applications. Verify spring condition, mount condition, and ride height before installation. Because this strut is designed around the OE factory spring, it should be matched with the original spring setup for proper performance. Confirm fitment by year, model, and position before ordering 35-116493.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein tests B6 Performance dampers to quality standards that meet or exceed OE requirements. The monotube design, application-specific valving, and zinc-plated construction reflect Bilstein’s focus on consistent suspension performance and long-term durability.
