Product Information
B4 series, twintube, OE replacement strut cartridge
If the front end of your BMW feels "bouncy" or isn't as planted to the road as it once was it is likely due to worn out strut inserts. The main purpose of strut inserts is to dampen the rebound of the coil springs and to provide a comfortable and controlled ride. Strut inserts can be tricky to diagnose if they are blown or not because the inset sit inside a strut housing. Excessive front end sound, bounciness, and lack of grip are normally good signs that the strut inserts will need to be replaced. Additionally, we recommend replacing strut inserts in pairs for the best performance and service life.
Bilstein B4 OE Replacement Series gas pressure shocks and struts are specifically engineered to be the best choice for maintaining the original ride quality of your vehicle, while meeting or exceeding OE standards. These dampers are the ideal choice for the driver looking to restore the original performance and handling of their vehicle, with the added benefit of world-famous Bilstein quality.
WARNING: Proposition 65 informationA suspension strut cartridge is the internal shock-absorbing component housed within a strut assembly. It controls suspension movement by dampening the up-and-down motion of the springs, ensuring stability, comfort, and proper tire contact with the road. In some vehicles, the cartridge can be replaced separately without changing the entire strut housing.
Suspension Strut Cartridge Failure Symptoms- Excessive bouncing or poor ride comfort, as the cartridge can no longer dampen spring movement effectively.
- Nose-diving or body roll, especially during braking or cornering, due to weakened damping control.
- Fluid leaks or clunking noises, indicating internal seal failure or worn-out cartridge components.
About Bilstein B4 OE Replacement

Made only from the highest quality materials, Bilstein shocks reduced valve fatigue means they last much longer than standard stock replacement components. Bilstein Touring (B4): The Bilstein B4 Series provides the same OEM quality and ride stability for the aftermarket. Bilstein uses both monotube and twin-tube technology to give the best in OE replacement driving comfort at a great economical price. This class shock is considered by FCP to be a stock replacement or “one step up” from factory replacement shocks.
