Bilstein 22-287434 B6 Performance Front Right Strut for 2019-2023 Volvo XC40

Vehicle Fitment

• 2019-2022 Volvo XC40 T4 FWD (536, 2.0L I4 B4204T21, Momentum / Inscription / R-Design)
• 2019-2022 Volvo XC40 T5 AWD (536, 2.0L I4 B4204T23 / T27, Momentum / Inscription / R-Design)
• 2021-2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge AWD (536, BEV dual-motor, Base / Core / Plus / Ultimate)

Fitment Notes

• This is the front RIGHT (passenger side) strut assembly only - the front LEFT side requires Bilstein 22-287427
• Fits both FWD and AWD XC40 variants, as well as the XC40 Recharge electric variant, across all supported model years
• Does NOT fit XC40 models equipped with electronic/adaptive suspension or factory air ride - for standard passive suspension only
• B6 Performance is a performance upgrade over OE factory dampers and is designed for use with OE factory springs at stock ride height - it is NOT for use with lowering springs
• Dust boot not included - reuse factory boot or source separately
• Sold individually - two units required for a complete front axle replacement

Features

• B6 Performance twin-tube gas-pressurized design delivers noticeably improved front-end handling, steering precision, and body control compared to factory OE struts - application-specific valving calibrated and road-tested for the Volvo XC40 front suspension
• Velocity-sensitive progressive piston design reacts dynamically to changing road conditions - providing compliant damping over everyday road imperfections while firming progressively during cornering, braking, and higher-demand driving inputs
• Engineered to pair directly with factory coil springs and OEM mounting hardware - bolt-on installation with no modifications, no spring changes, and no ride height alteration
• Compatible with the full powertrain range of the XC40 (536 platform) - from the base T4 FWD through the T5 AWD and the XC40 Recharge BEV AWD
• Gas-charged twin-tube construction maintains consistent, fade-free damping performance over the full service life of the strut - no break-in period required
• Stem upper mount and fixed spring seat correspond precisely to the XC40 front suspension attachment points - no supplemental hardware required beyond existing vehicle hardware
• Yellow painted finish - Bilstein's signature B6 Performance identifier
• Backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects for gas pressure shock absorbers and struts

Product Description

The Bilstein 22-287434 is a B6 Performance front right strut assembly engineered specifically for the 2019-2023 Volvo XC40 (536 platform), covering both ICE variants (T4 FWD and T5 AWD) and the XC40 Recharge BEV AWD. The B6 is a genuine performance upgrade over the factory OE strut - not simply a replacement - using application-specific valving that is individually calibrated and road-tested for the XC40's front suspension to deliver improved body control, sharper steering response, and more progressive damping behavior compared to the standard factory units. It is designed to work directly with the factory coil springs and OEM mounting hardware at stock ride height, making it a true bolt-on upgrade with no spring changes or alignment compromises.

The 22-287434 covers the front RIGHT (passenger side) position only; the left side requires 22-287427. Both FWD and AWD XC40 drivetrains are supported, as is the XC40 Recharge full-electric variant - the shared 536 platform's front suspension architecture is consistent across all these configurations. One important restriction: this strut is not compatible with XC40 models equipped with electronic or adaptive suspension, which use electronically controlled dampers that are incompatible with a passive B6 replacement. Buyers should confirm their vehicle has standard passive suspension before ordering.

The twin-tube gas-pressurized construction maintains consistent front damping behavior across the full operating range of the XC40's front suspension - from lightly loaded urban commuting to fully loaded highway cruising. The factory dust boot is not included and should be reused or sourced separately. This strut is not recommended for use with aftermarket lowering springs. It is backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects.
