1998 BMW 318ti Rear Shock and Struts

Bilstein B6 Performance gas pressure shock absorbers and struts are the ideal choice for most vehicles, including full-size sedans, SUVs and trucks. These shock absorbers and struts provide improved handling and stability, without sacrificing ride comfort. Bilstein B6 Performance shock absorbers offer superior damping ability that makes them ideal for the driver who demands superior performance, while maintaining an exceptional street ride.

Product Features:

• Monotube gas pressure construction
• Improved safety and sportiness
• Added traction and enhanced stability
• Increased durability and performance while maintaining ride comfort
• Road-tested and fine-tuned by BILSTEIN for each vehicle specific application The performance of the Bilstein shocks does not decline from age, use or heat, requiring no compensating manual adjustments as with conventional multi-tube shocks.

Monroe® OESpectrum® shock absorbers are engineered specifically for foreign nameplate vehicles and feature the latest global original equipment valving technologies. Developed through years of research and on-vehicle testing, Monroe® OESpectrum® units provide an unprecedented level of handling precision and control while filtering out the ride harshness commonly encountered on many foreign nameplate applications. This unique blend of control and comfort is made possible through Tenneco’s ‘Twin Technology Active Control System’, an exclusive internal damping control technology first developed for leading global vehicle manufacturers. Tenneco’s Twin Technology consists of its latest Impact Control Valve (ICV), which delivers exceptional control under virtually all driving conditions, and a patented Low Speed Tunability (LST) piston design that isolates impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.

Product Features:

• All Weather Fluid: Contains special modifiers to reduce friction and ensure smooth rod reaction.
• Full Displaced Valving: Tuned specifically for each application, this valving automatically adjusts to road extremes to provide consistency and ride
• Fluon Banded Piston: The fluon band provides consistent sealing between the piston and pressure tube which delivers better control and increased durability.
• 1-3/16 inch Bore: Larger bore than most shocks to provide more efficient and consistent control
• Twin Technology: Impact Control Valve (ICV), delivers exceptional control under virtually all driving conditions, and patented Low Speed Tunability (LST) piston design that isolates impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: For improved ride and handling, helps maintain tire to road contact by reducing aeration – on most applications
• 1/2 inch Diameter Piston Rod: Nitrocarburized rod for long service life. On non-dust shield units only.
• Special Seal: ‘Self-lubricating’ fluid seal designed to retain gas without excessive wear or friction.
