Product Description

The Bilstein 19-322360 is a B4 OE Replacement rear shock absorber engineered specifically for the 2018-2022 Volkswagen Atlas and 2020-2022 Atlas Cross Sport, both built on Volkswagen's CA1 MQB-B platform. Using a twin-tube gas-pressurized design with a stem upper mount and 12.2mm eye lower mount, this shock is calibrated to the factory rear suspension specifications of the Atlas platform, restoring the smooth, controlled ride quality these family-sized SUVs are designed to deliver. It covers every trim level offered across both models - from the base S through the SEL Premium and R-Line variants - and is compatible with both FWD and 4Motion AWD configurations as well as both the 2.0L I4 TSI and 3.6L V6 FSI engine options.

This is a direct OEM-quality replacement, cross-referencing VW factory part numbers 3QG 513 029 AC, 3QG 513 029 AF, and 3QG 513 029 AK. The shock does not carry a coil spring and does not include a dust boot or spring seat, consistent with the Atlas rear multi-link independent suspension design. The gas-charged twin-tube construction resists oil foaming during sustained damping cycles, which is particularly valuable on a three-row SUV regularly carrying passengers and cargo at higher load levels. The Bilstein B4 is engineered to restore the factory ride height and damping behavior and is not recommended for use with aftermarket lowering springs.

Two units are required for a complete rear axle replacement. The 19-322360 is backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects. Buyers with 2023 or newer Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport models should verify fitment with their VIN, as those vehicles transitioned to an updated platform generation.
