Direct-fit front/rear monotube shock for Freightliner V Line, Oshkosh V Line, and Safari Cheetah/Zanzibar Class A motorhomes. 46mm Comfitrac® piston design. Nitrogen gas charged. Sold individually. Made in the USA.
The Bilstein 24-020930 B6 4600 Series Shock Absorber is engineered specifically for Class A motorhomes on the Freightliner V Line and Oshkosh V Line chassis, as well as Safari Cheetah and Zanzibar coaches. Large motorhomes put demands on shock absorbers that no ordinary truck shock is designed to handle — constant load, long highway miles, significant weight, and the unique dynamics of air-ride suspension systems.
Bilstein's answer for motorhome applications is the Comfitrac® working piston — a specially designed piston that reacts instantly to sudden, high-frequency road harshness like dropping a wheel into a pothole, delivering superior comfort and stability without the vague, wallowing feel of worn or generic replacement shocks. The result is a motorhome that feels planted, tracks precisely through corners and lane changes, and reduces the fatigue of long-distance driving.
Valved and tuned specifically for Class A motorhome chassis dynamics — not a generic heavy-duty truck shock
Bilstein's motorhome-specific piston reacts instantly to sudden road harshness for superior comfort and stability
High-pressure nitrogen gas monotube construction — fade-free, consistent performance under the sustained heavy loads of motorhome travel
Eyelet upper and lower mounts — bolt-on fit for Freightliner V Line and Safari Cheetah/Zanzibar chassis
Chassis Verification Required: This shock fits the Freightliner V Line and Oshkosh V Line chassis, and Safari Cheetah and Zanzibar models on compatible chassis. Safari offered many models across multiple chassis types over the years — always verify your specific chassis make and model before ordering. Hardware Not Included: Uses existing OEM mounting hardware. Mounting hardware is not included with this shock. Sold Individually: One shock per package. Bilstein recommends replacing shocks in axle pairs (both front or both rear). Multiple shocks may be needed depending on your chassis configuration — some motorhomes use two shocks per wheel position. Position: This shock is used in both front and rear positions on compatible chassis. Verify the correct quantity needed for your specific application.
In The Box (Qty: 1 Shock Absorber): • Bilstein 24-020930 Shock Absorber • Blue Protective Boot • Black Rubber Bushings NOT Included: • Mounting Hardware (uses existing OEM hardware) • Dust Shield • Additional shocks (sold individually — order the correct qty for your application)
Bilstein recommends replacing motorhome shocks in axle pairs — both front shocks together, or both rear shocks together — to maintain balanced handling and consistent ride quality across the axle. Some Class A motorhome chassis configurations (including certain V Line and Magnum chassis builds) use two shocks per wheel position. Verify the number of shocks on each wheel position of your specific chassis before ordering. Signs your motorhome shocks need replacement: excessive body roll, front-end dive under braking, porpoising or "boat-like" motion on highway, or reduced steering response.

The 24-020930 fits the following motorhome chassis and coach models. Always verify your specific chassis make, model, and suspension configuration before ordering. Safari offered many models across different chassis platforms over the years — chassis type is the critical fitment factor, not coach model alone.
⚠️ Fitment cross-referenced across multiple Bilstein authorized dealers including ShockWarehouse, LM Performance, TruckSpring, and SuperSteer Parts. Safari built many coach models across different chassis over multiple decades — chassis verification is essential. If your Safari model is not listed above, contact Bilstein technical support or your suspension specialist to confirm the correct shock for your specific chassis configuration.
