## Description

Bilstein (24-197649) 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber

Review: Huge Improvement! - I bought both the front and rear 5100 series shock absorber so for my '04 Titan. Installation for the rears took all of 30 minutes total. The front shocks, however, took quite a bit of time. I had to disconnect the tie rod ends and the upper ball joints to give myself enough open space to get the leverage needed to break the bolts/nuts loose. I do have the oldest model and these clearly have never been replaced, so depending on your situation, you may not need to disconnect so many parts to break loose the nuts and bolts to remove the shock. Once the unit was removed, I used a McPherson spring compressor (free rental with deposit @ O'Reilly's) to swap the springs into the new units. Putting them back on took some effort to stretch the control arm up high enough to squeeze the new unit back in, especially since I added 1 inch lift. 2 inches would make it even more difficult. Then compressing the control arm back down to reconnect the upper ball joint took quite some elbow grease. All in all, total installation took about 2 hours each side plus the 30 minutes for both rear shocks. As difficult as it may have sounded, the point is that I was able to do this without wasting an entire day off and without paying a shop, and I'm no mechanic. THE RESULTS: The one inch lift perfectly levels out the truck. The ride is AMAZING! My truck used to shake and rattle over every pothole and speed bump. Now, it rolls smoothly over them (barely noticeable) while maintaining stiffness during cornering. For less than $400, my 14 year old truck now handles like new, probably even better than new.
Review: Great Buy - Bought for a 2008 Nissan Titan Pro-4X, standard ride height, at 80,000 miles. I had my local mechanic install them for me. The truck rides nice. Its like a new ride! The handling is A LOT better. Going over small bumps like the metal track that the housing community gates ride on used to jar and rattle the truck. Now its just a smooth bump. Going over uneven road transitions used the have the truck bobbing up and down for another 50-100 feet, now it just adjusts easily and seamlessly. The ride is both firmer and smoother. You cannot go wrong. I love these shocks. they are more than some cheap monroes but they are very very nice and should last longer. Edit, desertcart sent me some beat-up open boxes covered in saran wrap which really concerned me. But the mechanic had everything he needed and the install went well as the shocks were still unused and all the hardware needed is already on the truck. Note to desertcart, best to put these in a box for shipping as the manufacturer did not package them to go through shipping very well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit 2012 Infinity QX56 front ?**
A: Absolutely not.  I had to learn the hard way.  The 2011 and above QX56/QX80 and the 2017 and above Nissan Pathfinder are the Nissan Patrol platform which is a totally different setup.  If you go to the Bilstein website they have no products listed for our vehicles.  I bought these because Amazon has them listed as a fit for my vehicle, but it is incorrect.

**Q: This price is for a pair right not just for one?**
A: JUST FOR ONE SHOCK

**Q: Can anyone verify that with these at lowest height setting would be at stock height? I have a 6" lift and looking to keep it looking the same. Thanks**
A: At their lowest setting, these are at stock height.

**Q: Does the washer in the picture go above or below the spring top mount?**
A: Not sure what type vehicle you have, but mine went below the mount. The top nut was flared at the bottom. My install. 2005 nissan titan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good HD strut for SUV.
*by F***E on April 18, 2019*

Arrived without some hardware. One box was opened and the strut looked like it had been installed and removed. Missing in the open package were one nut, two large washers/ spacers, one black rubber spacer. I’m using them in a 2014 Armada; front struts. They are a bit stiffer than normal struts, but they are heavy duty. If you install them, make sure you leave them in the lowest setting. For some reason in the middle and higher settings, the front of the armada lifts an inch or two, and also feels stiffer. To me the Armada feels heavier then all other SUVs I had before, including a Suburban I owned for 15 years. I’m an ME and to my criteria the Armada suspension is really a PiA and hard to understand why anyone would design a large SUV suspension this way. I prefer the GM and Jeep suspensions. Previously I have installed these 5100s on a 2001 Sequoia, 2003 Suburban. Their fit and function is better than most struts. I used the heavy duty spring compressor from Autozone. Is over $200 to rent the tool, but money is returned after you use it. It save hours of work. I Do not recommend using the small ring compressors.
