Product Description

The Bilstein 19-282862 is a B4 OE Replacement rear shock absorber designed specifically for the 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander (XU50 generation), covering all trim levels from the base LE through the Limited Platinum and all Hybrid variants, in both FWD and AWD configurations. Using a twin-tube gas-pressurized design with dual eye mounts, this shock absorber is calibrated to match the factory rear suspension specifications of the XU50 Highlander, restoring the smooth, composed ride quality that makes the Highlander such a capable family SUV. A pre-installed dust boot protects the piston rod from the road grime and moisture exposure that rear-axle shock absorbers routinely encounter.

The B4 series is Bilstein's dedicated OEM replacement line, built to meet or exceed the specifications of the factory damper for each specific application. The 19-282862 is compatible with every powertrain offered in the 2014-2019 Highlander - the 2.7L I4, the 3.5L V6, and the 3.5L V6 Hybrid - and with both FWD and AWD drivetrain configurations, making it a universal rear shock solution for the entire XU50 generation. The dual-eye mount configuration matches the Highlander's factory rear suspension attachment points precisely, requiring no modifications or supplemental hardware for installation. The shock does not carry a coil spring and does not include a spring seat.

The gas-charged twin-tube construction prevents oil foaming during sustained compression cycles - particularly important on a three-row family SUV that regularly carries varying passenger and cargo loads. This shock is not recommended for use with aftermarket lowering springs, as it is calibrated for stock ride height. Two units are required for a complete rear axle replacement. The 19-282862 is cross-referenced to nine OEM Toyota part numbers across the full XU50 Highlander production run and is backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects.
