Suspenison optimisation for Jeeps

Jeeps are often where the dirt splatters and there is a lot of dust! In the case of the Cherokee III and Commander models, however, workshops are often surprised to find that some aftermarket shock absorbers from BILSTEIN have neither a tube nor a boot to protect against dust? The suspension experts explain what this is all about and how the handling of the aforementioned Jeeps can be further improved on and off the road.

Jeeps of all kinds are among the stars of the off-road scene. Even the rather comfortable Grand Cherokee III (WH, WK, built 2004-2011) and Commander (XK, XH, built 2005-2010) models perform impressively off-road. What’s more, BILSTEIN has various options in its range to further improve the handling of both models – both on and off the road. Workshops will wonder, however, why most of these BILSTEIN shock absorbers have neither a boot nor a tube to protect against dust. After all, this important detail is found on every passenger car shock absorber and should be present on an off-road vehicle all the more – shouldn’t it?

Were the accessories simply forgotten in the end? Rainer Popiol, head of the BILSTEIN Academy, gives the all-clear. “On both models, Chrysler engineers already decided not to use dust boots or tubes with the original shock absorbers. The problem was solved elsewhere in terms of design. That’s why various BILSTEIN shock absorbers for Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander are also supplied without additional dust protection and can be installed as they are without hesitation.”
