Video Overview

Informational video about how Bilstein Shocks are made. Bilstein Shock Absorbers

The difference in Bilstein shocks starts with their high-pressure nitrogen gas charge. All shock absorbers use oil to dampen road forces, the oil is forced through orifices and valves inside the shock to resist flowing and as it resists flowing it keeps your vehicle from bouncing with every change in the road. The action of the moving oil will generate heat and may cause the oil to foam. In a traditional shock when placed under a high demand the heat and foaming will cause a loss of performance called fade. By applying a high-pressure nitrogen charge to the oil, Bilstein has eliminated the possibility of shock fading. Under pressure the oil is unable to foam, and the heat is released through the body of the shock.

The difference continues in the quality of the components and the innovation that make up a Bilstein shock. These are items that you may not be able to see, but you will be able to feel. The piston rod is plated in hard chrome and finished extremely smooth. This lowers the wear on seals and the piston rod, contributing to a long shock life. The piston rod guide and seal are one piece, preventing contamination from entering the shock while staying nearly friction free. Bilstein uses digressive valving which can automatically adjust the damping characteristics of the shock as you drive. This allows the shock to offer the best balance of comfort and stability for any driving situation. Additionally, any bushings included with Bilstein shocks are made of vulcanized neoprene rubber which is very durable and long wearing.
