Bilstein B8 Rear Offside Damper - Part No. 24-143981 - BMW X5 E70 and BMW X6 E71 E72

Transform the way your BMW drives with the Bilstein B8 rear right gas-charged monotube damper, part number 24-143981. Tailored for lowered coil spring set-ups and factory sport chassis, this short-stroke unit keeps the spring properly preloaded, giving your X5 or X6 a tighter, more controlled feel, excellent stability and confident fast-road performance without ruining daily comfort.

We have fitted a large number of B8 units at MJ Modifications and the feedback is consistently positive - firmer control, improved rear-end composure and a noticeably more planted feel on British roads. If you want a quality upgrade that is a direct fit on the offside rear of your BMW SUV, this is the go-to choice.
