Product Description

The Bilstein 22-266637 is a B6 Series front left strut assembly engineered as a direct replacement for the factory strut on the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, compatible across FWD, AWD, and 4WD configurations. Built with a twintube internal design and Bilstein's velocity sensitive digressive piston, this strut is tuned specifically for the Explorer application to deliver fade-free performance and a noticeable improvement in ride quality, handling, and comfort over the factory unit.

The digressive piston technology reacts to changing road surface conditions in real time, providing instant response and increased control whether cornering, braking, or handling uneven pavement. A fixed spring seat comes pre-installed, and the strut mounts using a bracket-style lower mount and stem-style upper mount for a direct fit without modification.

This strut is intended for Explorer owners looking to restore or improve ride quality and handling with a direct OE-style replacement rather than a performance-lowered application. It installs as a complete assembly, requiring no separate spring or mount purchase, and is backed by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty; the corresponding front right strut is sold separately as 22-266620, and the matching rear shock is sold separately as 24-266664.
