Product Description

The Bilstein 24-247245 B6 Performance Front Shock is a high-quality direct-fit replacement designed for classic Volkswagen Vanagon models equipped with the Syncro 16" front suspension. Built with a gas-pressurized monotube design and vehicle-specific calibrated valving, this front shock delivers a more controlled and responsive driving experience than the original factory dampers. It enhances stability, cornering confidence, and overall road feel while maintaining ride comfort for daily driving or long-distance touring.

Fitment is confirmed for 1986-1989 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro with 16" suspension setups. This shock installs directly into the original front mounting points and is engineered to work seamlessly with the existing coil springs without requiring modifications. Its corrosion-resistant finish helps ensure durability and long service life. Coverage is verified through the listed model years; fitment beyond this range or on non-Syncro applications is unconfirmed at time of listing.
