About this part

Product Details

This is the Bilstein B6 rear shock absorber, specifically tuned for your 2015-2018 Freightliner or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 4WD. If you're looking to get a more stable and comfortable ride out of your van, especially when it's loaded up, this shock absorber is a solid option. It's designed to work with your van's stock height and uses your original springs and mounting hardware, making installation straightforward.

What sets the B6 apart is its 46mm monotube design. This construction helps prevent the shock from overheating and losing effectiveness, even during long drives or when carrying heavy loads. Bilstein also uses a digressive piston that adjusts its damping based on how quickly the suspension is moving, so you get a more controlled feel on rough roads and better stability around corners. Each B6 shock is specifically valved for the Sprinter application, meaning it's not a one-size-fits-all part; it's tuned to work best with your van's weight and suspension characteristics.
