Product Description

The Bilstein 24-002936 B6 Performance rear shock is engineered as a direct replacement for classic Volvo models such as the 122 and 1800 produced between 1959 and 1973.

Its robust German construction and protective finish help ensure long-lasting performance in everyday driving and enthusiastic vintage use.

This shock installs easily into the original rear suspension mounts without the need for modifications and works with factory springs.
