Bilstein B6 Rear Monotube Shock Absorber – 46mm for 2005–2013 Chevrolet C6 Corvette

Description

The Bilstein B6 Performance Rear Shock (Part No. 24-029766) is a high-quality, monotube gas-charged rear damper engineered to replace and upgrade the stock rear shocks on Chevrolet Corvette C5 and C6 models (1997–2013) with standard suspension. Designed as an OE-plus performance replacement, this shock maintains stock ride height and spring rates while providing superior damping control over worn or basic twin-tube units. The monotube design resists fade and keeps rear suspension motion in check, enhancing stability, traction feel, and handling confidence without making your ride harsh or uncomfortable.
