Bilstein B6 4600 Series Rear Shock Absorber – 24-016186

Upgrade the ride, handling, and control of your 1994–1997 Ford F-250 or F-350 7.3L Powerstroke with the Bilstein B6 4600 Series rear shock absorber (part #24-016186). These are a direct-fit, stock-height replacement designed specifically as an OE upgrade for OBS Super Duty trucks.

Key Benefits

• Corrosion-resistant yellow finish with protective blue boot.
• Limited lifetime warranty from Bilstein.
