Bilstein 24-026529 Rear Shock Unit for BMW X5 E53 2000 to 2006

Give your BMW X5 E53 its smooth, confident ride back with the Bilstein 24-026529 rear suspension unit. This factory-spec replacement shock is a precise, direct-fit solution for the back axle on X5 E53 models and maintains the original comfort, control and stability you expect. Engineered with Bilstein’s renowned single-tube gas-charged design, it delivers crisp damping response, secure road holding and long-term durability on UK roads.

Drivers choose this part to cure a bouncy rear end, uneven tyre wear, wallowing through corners and poor braking stability. We run these on our own cars and our customers consistently report a calmer, more planted X5 with improved confidence in wet and dry conditions. If you are refurbishing your E53 suspension or replacing tired rear shocks, this is the smart, stock-spec choice.

• Direct-fit rear shock for a straightforward bolt-on install
