Direct-fit rear OE upgrade shock for 1999–2022 Ford F53 V10 Class A motorhome chassis. 46mm monotube with Comfitrac® piston. Road and track tested. Also fits Holiday Rambler and Monaco Coach on the F53 V10. Sold individually.
The Bilstein 24-234528 B6 Series Rear Shock Absorber is purpose-built for Class A motorhomes on the Ford F53 V10 chassis — the most widely used Class A motorhome platform of the modern era. Covering the 1999 and newer F53 V10 generation, this shock represents Bilstein's application-specific engineering for the unique demands of a Class A motorhome: sustained highway loads, the weight transfer of large coach bodies, rear axle stability under towing, and the constant punishment of long-distance travel.
The Comfitrac® working piston at the heart of this shock reacts instantly to high-frequency road impacts — expansion joints, rough pavement, pothole drops — delivering them as gentle compressions rather than sharp jolts. The result is a dramatically more settled rear end, reduced body bounce and sway on the highway, better lane-change stability, and the overall improvement in coach composure that makes the difference between a tiring drive and a genuinely enjoyable one.
