Product Description

The Bilstein 19-019888 is a B4 OE Replacement rear shock absorber designed for 1984-1995 Volvo 740, 760, 780, 940, and 960 models equipped with a standard rear suspension (non-self-leveling). As the industry benchmark for gas pressure shock absorbers, the Bilstein B4 series is engineered to restore the original damping characteristics of your Volvo's rear suspension - delivering the same ride quality, handling confidence, and road feel the vehicle had when new. The twin-tube gas pressure design maintains consistent damping output and prevents the oil foaming that causes fade and reduced performance in conventional shock absorbers.

This is a direct bolt-on replacement that installs in place of the factory unit with no modifications needed, making it equally suitable for professional workshop installation or a DIY job. The 19-019888 is manufactured by thyssenkrupp Bilstein in Germany and cross-references OEM Volvo part numbers 1329500, 1329501, 1329507, and 1330702. Note: this shock is designed for stock ride height applications and is not recommended for use with lowering springs or self-leveling suspension setups.
