Product Description

The Bilstein 24-021333 B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber is engineered as a direct-fit performance upgrade for the front suspension of select Ford and Mercury SUVs. It fits 1995-2001 Ford Explorer models, including AWD and 4WD versions, 1997-2000 Mercury Mountaineer, and 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac when equipped with stock ride height. This shock features a gas-pressurized monotube design with a velocity-sensitive digressive piston, providing more consistent damping response, improved handling, and greater stability compared to many original equipment shocks.

Designed for everyday driving, highway cruising, and towing duties, this B6 4600 shock enhances vehicle control and comfort without changing ride height. Its durable construction and corrosion-resistant finish help ensure long-lasting performance, while the included protective boot shields the shock shaft from dust and debris. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace shocks on both sides of the front axle for balanced suspension performance and ride quality.
