Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are Bilstein B6 Sport shocks firmer than factory shocks?

Yes, in most cases, Bilstein B6 Sport dampers are firmer than factory equipment to provide enhanced performance and handling.

Can I use Bilstein B6 Sport shocks with lowering springs?

They are recommended for standard-height or mild-lowering springs. Excessive lowering may negatively impact performance and longevity.

What is the warranty on Bilstein B6 Sport shock absorbers?

Bilstein B6 Sport shock absorbers come with a 2-year warranty.

Are these shocks sold individually or as a set?

These shocks are sold individually. For a complete vehicle application, you will need to purchase the appropriate shocks for each corner.

Will these shocks improve my car's towing capability?

Yes, the enhanced damping and stability provided by the B6 Sport shocks make them ideal for use when towing.

What is a monotube shock absorber?

A monotube shock absorber uses a single, larger tube containing the piston and a floating dividing piston that separates the oil and nitrogen gas. This design offers better heat dissipation, fade resistance, and more precise damping control compared to twin-tube designs.

Do I need to replace my springs when installing these shocks?

It is not always required, as they are designed to work with standard or mild-lowering springs. However, for optimal performance, it's recommended to match them with appropriate spring rates.

Troubleshooting

Harsh or jarring ride quality

This is expected due to the performance-oriented valving. Ensure the shocks are correctly paired with appropriate springs (stock or mild lowering) and that suspension components are functioning correctly. Check for any binding in the suspension.

Vehicle pulling to one side

Verify that the shock absorbers were installed correctly on the correct sides (left/right) and that a professional wheel alignment was performed after installation.

Excessive body roll persists

While improved, extreme body roll may indicate the need for stiffer springs, a rear sway bar, or that the shocks are nearing the end of their lifespan. Ensure correct part number for your vehicle.

Noisy suspension

Check that all mounting hardware is tightened to specification. Inspect bushings and other suspension components for wear. Ensure the shock mount and top hat are correctly installed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Bilstein B6 Sport shock absorber should be performed by a qualified mechanic. Proper alignment is crucial after installation to ensure optimal performance and tire wear. It is recommended to pair these dampers with appropriate springs (standard or mild lowering) for best results. For some vehicles, this may be an insert style damper that fits into the original strut housing, while others receive a complete strut assembly.

Compatibility: This specific part number, Bilstein 35-110743, is designed for the front right position of compatible vehicles. Always verify fitment with your vehicle's year, make, and model before purchase. These dampers are generally intended for use with standard or mild-lowering suspension setups.

Care: Bilstein B6 Sport shock absorbers are designed for durability and require minimal user maintenance. Keep the exterior of the shock absorber clean from excessive dirt and road salt. Periodically inspect for any signs of leaks or physical damage. The monotube design is sealed and does not require fluid changes.
