Product Description

The Bilstein 24-021326 B6 4600 Series Rear Shock Absorber is engineered as a direct-fit performance shock for the rear suspension of select stock ride-height Ford and Mercury SUVs. It fits 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer models equipped with rear solid-axle suspension. Built with a monotube, gas-pressurized design and a velocity-sensitive digressive piston, this shock delivers more consistent damping and improved handling over many original equipment rear shocks, helping enhance ride comfort and stability in daily driving, towing, and highway conditions.

This B6 4600 shock's robust construction and corrosion-resistant finish provide long-lasting durability, while the included protective boot helps shield the piston shaft from dirt and debris. Replacement is straightforward with OE-style mounts for direct-fit installation, and it's recommended to replace shocks in pairs for balanced suspension performance.
