Bilstein Monotube Rod Shocks Roll

This is the 46mm (1.81-inch) piston and rod that Bilstein uses for its aluminum and coilover pieces in lieu of the 36mm (1.42-inch) piston from the steel-bodied pieces. The adjustable unit on the right has a 1 1/4-inch piston. The nonadjustable unit on the left has about an inch piston and deflective valving, but only on compression. The clear bag on the lower left is what one of the manufacturers fills with its nitrogen charge.
