Product Description

The Bilstein 35-254973 is a B6 Performance front left strut engineered as a direct-fit performance upgrade for the 2016-2020 Kia Sorento across all trim levels and both FWD and AWD configurations. Using a monotube gas-pressure design, this strut eliminates the fluid aeration common in OE twin-tube units, delivering consistent damping force and sharper handling response through corners and over varied road surfaces.

Designed to work with the OE factory spring, installation is straightforward with no modifications required. Bilstein's application-specific valve tuning ensures the strut complements the Sorento's stock suspension geometry, providing a noticeable improvement in control and stability without sacrificing ride comfort.
