Upgrade the suspension performance of your stock-height light truck or SUV with the Bilstein B6 4600 24-185462 suspension shock absorber. Engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the original equipment shock, this Bilstein shock is specifically tuned for compatible Ford Excursion applications from 2000 through 2005. It helps improve ride quality, handling, and overall driving comfort without requiring vehicle modifications or a lift kit.
The B6 4600 series uses a monotube internal design with a velocity-sensitive, digressive piston. This technology allows the shock absorber to respond quickly to changing road conditions while delivering consistent, fade-free performance under demanding driving conditions. Application-specific tuning provides controlled suspension movement and dependable damping for light-truck use. The non-adjustable damping calibration is designed to maintain balanced performance for everyday driving, hauling, and varying road surfaces.
This Bilstein shock absorber features a yellow-painted finish, a blue straight boot, and eye-style upper and lower mounts for secure installation. It does not include a reservoir or spring seat, and it is intended for stock-height vehicles. The shock has a collapsed length of 13.70 inches and an extended length of 21.65 inches. This product is compatible with 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 Ford Excursion models. Professional installation is recommended to verify application compatibility and ensure proper suspension assembly. WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
