Express/Savana 96-13 B6 Series Shock Absorber — Bilstein 24-024815
Upgrade the rear suspension on your Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana with the Bilstein B6 24-024815. This 46mm monotube gas-pressure shock is a stock-height, direct-fit rear replacement that firms up control without changing ride height or springs. It is built for work vans that haul, tow, and see daily miles—more stability, less wallow, and fade-free damping when the factory shocks are worn out.
Why this shock
Bilstein B6 shocks are application-tuned performance replacements for stock-height vehicles. The monotube body and velocity-sensitive digressive piston react to the road in real time, so the van stays planted on the highway, in crosswinds, and under cargo. Gas-pressure design helps prevent oil foaming, so damping stays consistent when the shock heats up from load or long trips. The result is tighter handling and a more controlled ride than tired OE twin-tube shocks, without a lift or lowering kit.
Signature yellow paint and a blue straight dust boot protect the body and shaft. Limited lifetime warranty from Bilstein.
