Technical Specifications

Performance Benefits

The Bilstein 22‑235756 strut transforms the driving experience by:

• Reducing Body Roll: The stiffer construction limits chassis flex during cornering, improving stability.
• Enhancing Steering Precision: A more responsive suspension translates to tighter steering feel and reduced oversteer.
• Improving Comfort on Rough Terrain: The progressive damping absorbs road irregularities, keeping occupants comfortable.
• Extending Component Life: Reduced stress on the strut mount and surrounding suspension parts leads to longer overall vehicle lifespan.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Raise the vehicle securely, remove wheel, and disconnect battery for safety.
