Bilstein B8 5100 (Steering Damper) (33-170862)

Bilstein B8 5100 (Steering Damper) (33-170862)Bilstein B8 5100 (Steering Damper) is designed as an upgrade to factory steering dampers on trucks and SUVs. Utilizing our proven design, these steering dampers are able to dampen minute movements in the steering and reduce steering vibrations that naturally occur, especially in older vehicles. These steering dampers are zinc coated for resistance to harsh elements and match to all B8 5100 series products. B8 5100 (Steering Damper) will offer a

Bilstein B8 5100 (Steering Damper) is designed as an upgrade to factory steering dampers on trucks and SUVs. Utilizing our proven design, these steering dampers are able to dampen minute movements in the steering and reduce steering vibrations that naturally occur, especially in older vehicles. These steering dampers are zinc coated for resistance to harsh elements and match to all B8 5100 series products. B8 5100 (Steering Damper) will offer a significant improvement in steering, handling and comfort.

Features:

• Corrects steering wobble issues often seen with OE dampers
• Superior gas over hydraulic design will not fade under even the most extreme driving conditions

• Vehicle application is specifically tuned by Bilstein ride engineers

Road-Tested by Bilstein®. To achieve that celebrated Bilstein® driving experience, Bilstein® engineers rely on not only technology that is truly at the cutting edge, but also something that has withstood the test of time: how it feels to the driver. As a result, all of Bilstein® high-performance absorbers, as well as Bilstein® sport suspensions and threaded ride height adjustable kits, undergo a rigorous testing programme. On the Nürburgring and in Bilstein® own test centre at the Papenburg test track, Bilstein® drivers test how balanced the driving characteristics of various vehicles are in a variety of different driving situations. Only when they have passed this programme of tests with distinction are they allowed to bear the Bilstein® name. This way, Bilstein® can guarantee that celebrated Bilstein® driving experience.

Gas Pressure Technology. Over time, the mono-tube gas pressure technology developed by Bilstein® has established itself as a standard in automotive construction. This technology involves keeping the oil in the absorber under pressure, which prevents it from foaming when temperatures and loads are increasing. As a result, full damping power is retained even when the system is placed under extreme stress, a feature that can be observed in the self-lowering piston.

Mono-tube Upside-Down Technology. The original and best: The original mono-tube gas pressure shock absorbers bore the Bilstein® name, and still responsible for producing the best there is. Bilstein®’s mono-tube technology is the number-one choice in motorsports and series-production sports cars: no other type gives engineers the same freedom to choose the perfect installation location or position (e.g. Upside-Down technology).
