Where most shock bodies are cut from a piece of steel tubing, Bilstein uses a unique seamless extrusion process for greater strength and uniform 2mm thickness. The finished body is mated with a solid induction-hardened, chrome-plated and polished shaft, specially machined valving components and high quality seals.

Over time, the mono-tube gas pressure technology developed by BILSTEIN has established itself as a standard in automotive construction. This technology involves keeping the oil in the absorber under pressure, which prevents it from foaming when temperatures and loads are increasing. As a result, full damping power is retained even when the system is placed under extreme stress, a feature that can be observed in the self-lowering piston.

These are not to be confused with the American made 5100 Series which are designed for freeway conditions and are not valved to ensure good control on our Australian roads.

The proven technology of a twin-tube absorber is applied in the vast majority of all vehicles. BILSTEIN‘s twin-tube absorbers, featuring “original equipment manufacturer” quality that has undergone rigorous testing, offer a marked improvement in driving characteristics with universal spare parts replaced in a timely and efficient manner.
