Product Description

The Bilstein 24-067270 B4 Rear Shock is a direct-fit OE replacement shock absorber engineered for the rear suspension of Jaguar XK8 and XKR models built between 1996 and 2006 with standard, non-electronic suspension systems. Designed with gas-pressure monotube technology and application-specific valving, this rear shock restores factory-level damping performance and ride comfort compared to worn or aging original shocks, while maintaining proper rear ride height with the vehicle's original springs.

Featuring robust construction and a corrosion-resistant finish, this B4 OE Replacement shock improves rear stability and overall ride quality for everyday driving conditions. Installation is straightforward using existing factory mounting points on the rear axle, and the included protective boot helps shield the shock body from road debris and the elements. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace rear shocks in matched pairs for balanced suspension performance and optimal handling on your Jaguar XK8 or XKR.
