Bilstein 24-186629 B6 4600 Front Shock — Workhorse W20/W22 Class A Motorhome Chassis (2001–2004)

Bilstein 24-186629 B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber — Workhorse W20/W22 Class A Motorhome Chassis (2001–2004)

Direct-fit motorhome-specific front shock for 2001–2004 Workhorse W20 and W22 Class A chassis at stock height. Features Bilstein's Comfitrac® piston. Also fits Holiday Rambler Vacationer and Monaco Coach built on W20/W22. Eyelet upper and lower mounts. Made in the USA.

Why Choose the Bilstein B6 4600 Front Shock for Your W20/W22 Class A?

The Bilstein 24-186629 B6 4600 Series Front Shock Absorber is the front companion to the 24-186537 rear shock — together forming the complete stock-height Bilstein suspension upgrade for the Workhorse W20 and W22 Class A chassis (2001–2004). Front shock condition is critical to motorhome safety: worn front shocks increase steering vagueness, reduce stability in lane changes and crosswinds, and make the front end of a heavy Class A feel disconnected and unpredictable.

With Bilstein's Comfitrac® working piston — designed specifically for motorhome applications — this shock delivers the precise front-end control and high-frequency comfort that a full-size Class A motorhome demands. The result is better steering precision, dramatically reduced front-end float and sway, and the stable, confident handling that makes long highway trips safe and enjoyable.
