Bilstein shock absorbers

For the sporting vehicles , the top-of-the-range trucks, the 4x4, the  Bilstein yellow range shock absorbers are adapted exactly to the kinematics of the frame and the constancy of the springs.

Vehicles equipped with tires X-broad tires

increase considerably the side forces on the strut, destroying the guides of stem and the seals The incomparable Bilstein manufacturing technique (where the stem is guided by rings of large surface) allows to absorb these forces.

Vehicles equipped with short springs

original or traditional replacement shock absorbers dont like surbasement and work with a travel not adapted to the springs, they go quickly to degrade itself.This tendency will unbalance the good vehicle handling with risks of re-heelings in compression, of pumping in relaxation, bad directional stability on damaged road surface or by strong wind and with braking distances considerably lengthened.The good damping capacity of the yellow range Bilstein shock absorbers and their constant operation tiny room these risks
