Product Description

The Bilstein 24-024464 B6 Performance Rear Shock Absorber is engineered for classic Jaguar rear suspension applications on models such as the XJ, XJ6, XJ12, and XJS ranging from the late 1960s through the mid-1990s. Built with a gas-pressurized monotube design and application-specific valving, this B6 shock provides smoother, more consistent damping compared to many original equipment units. It improves stability, handling precision, and road control while maintaining ride comfort with OEM springs.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement, this shock absorbs road inputs with confidence and helps minimize body motion during everyday driving and spirited runs alike. Its durable corrosion-resistant finish and integrated spring seat offer long-lasting performance, while the included protective boot helps shield the piston shaft from dirt and debris. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace both rear shocks together to maintain balanced suspension performance and consistent ride quality.
