Product Description

The Bilstein 34-181539 B6 Performance Front Strut Cartridge is a direct-fit replacement designed specifically for front suspension applications on classic Volvo vehicles, including Volvo 240, 242, 244, 245, 262, 264, and 265 models across their respective production years. As a monotube gas-pressure strut insert, this B6 Performance item improves handling response, road stability, and damping control compared to worn or original strut inserts. Enhanced valving tuned to the vehicle's suspension helps deliver smoother ride quality and greater confidence in everyday driving.

Engineered to pair seamlessly with the vehicle's original spring, the 34-181539 offers a balanced blend of comfort and performance without requiring additional spring or hardware changes. The protective blue bellows boot helps shield the strut shaft from debris, while the corrosion-resistant finish extends durability. Sold individually, this strut cartridge is ideal for classic Volvo owners seeking a performance-oriented suspension upgrade that restores handling precision and ride confidence.
