Bilstein 24-153249 B6 4600 Series Front Shock — Workhorse W20/W22/W24

Bilstein 24-153249 B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber — Workhorse W20 / W22 / W24 Class A Motorhome

Direct-fit front OE upgrade shock for 2005–2009 Workhorse W20, W22, and W24 Class A motorhome chassis. Also fits Holiday Rambler and Monaco Coach coaches on the same platform. 46mm monotube nitrogen gas design. Made in the USA.

Why Choose the Bilstein B6 4600 Front Shock for Your Workhorse Motorhome?

The Bilstein 24-153249 B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber is a direct-fit upgrade for Class A motorhomes built on the Workhorse W20, W22, and W24 chassis from 2005 to 2009. These are large, heavy coaches — many over 30 feet — and the front shocks bear constant load from the cab, engine, front cap, generator, and the cumulative weight of a fully loaded motorhome. Worn front shocks on a motorhome of this size translate directly into reduced steering response, excessive front-end float, and driver fatigue on long highway runs.

Bilstein's 46mm monotube design, tuned specifically for the Workhorse W-Series chassis, replaces that compromised handling with real front-end control — absorbing road inputs before they reach the cab, stabilizing the motorhome through lane changes, and providing the settled, confident feel that makes cross-country driving pleasant rather than exhausting.

🚌 Workhorse-Specific Tuning

Application-valved for the W-Series Class A chassis — not a generic heavy-duty truck shock

🏔️ 46mm Monotube Design

Consistent, fade-free front damping under the sustained loads of Class A motorhome travel — highway and off-road

⚡ Digressive Valving

Self-adjusting velocity-sensitive piston reacts instantly to road conditions for smooth, controlled front-end response

🇺🇸 Made in the USA

Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA. Backed by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty

Key Features & Benefits

  • Direct-Fit OE Upgrade: Engineered as a direct front shock replacement for the Workhorse W-Series chassis at stock ride height — uses OEM eyelet upper and lower mounting hardware
  • Improved Ride Quality, Handling & Traction: Significant improvement over worn factory front shocks for highway stability, front-end response, and driver control
  • 46mm Monotube Construction: Larger working piston area delivers more precise front damping and better heat dissipation than twin-tube designs — essential under the sustained loads of motorhome travel
  • Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure nitrogen with floating piston prevents oil aeration and heat fade for consistent performance under all conditions
  • Self-Adjusting Digressive Piston: Instantly reacts to changing road inputs — firm enough for confident highway stability, compliant enough to absorb rough surfaces and expansion joints
  • Reduces Front-End Float & Sway: Improved front damping authority eliminates the vague, floaty front-end feel that develops as factory shocks wear on high-mileage motorhomes
  • Increases Suspension Carrying Capacity: Handles the front axle loads of a fully loaded Class A motorhome, including front cap, engine, generator, and cab contents
  • Highway & Off-Road Ready: Application-specific tuning maintains front-end control on any road surface
  • Polished Steel Rod: Corrosion-resistant for long service life
  • Includes Blue Boot: Protective boot included; mounting hardware not included (uses OEM hardware)
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty
  • Made in the USA

⚠️ Before You Order — Key Notes

Hardware Not Included: Mounting hardware is not included — this shock uses your existing OEM mounting hardware.

Sold Individually: One shock absorber per package. Order qty 2 for a complete front axle replacement.

Chassis Verification: This shock fits the Workhorse W20, W22, and W24 chassis from 2005–2009. Many Class A motorhomes from Holiday Rambler, Monaco Coach, and other brands were built on these chassis during this period — verify your chassis make and model (not just the coach brand) before ordering.

Companion Rear Shock: The matching rear shock for the Workhorse W-Series is Bilstein 24-268097. Replacing front and rear shocks together provides the most balanced improvement in ride quality and handling.
