Product Description

The Bilstein 22-278494 B6 Performance strut is engineered as a direct front left replacement for 2014-2018 Subaru Forester models equipped with 2.0L or 2.5L H4 engines and AWD drivetrain. Built on Bilstein's proven monotube/twintube gas pressure technology, this Performance series strut delivers more precise handling, better ride comfort, and improved damping control over stock units - without sacrificing daily-driving smoothness.

Designed to work at stock ride height, the 22-278494 strut is non-adjustable but pre-tuned to suit everyday use and light off-road conditions commonly encountered by Forester owners. Installation is straightforward with direct OE-fitment and a fixed spring seat, making this an excellent upgrade for drivers seeking enhanced stability and response without major suspension modifications.
