When ordering these Bilstein front shocks alongside springs or as part of a complete suspension upgrade, it's critical to select spring rates based on your constant accessory load only — the weight permanently fitted to your vehicle. Front constant load includes bull bars, winches, additional battery systems, roof rack platforms, UHF antennas, upgraded lights and driving lamps. Rear constant load includes drawer systems, dual battery setups, water tanks, long-range fuel tanks, rear bars and tyre carriers. Occasional loads such as camping gear, food, passengers, roof-top tents when not in use, and towing loads should NOT be factored into your spring rate selection, as over-springing results in harsh ride quality and can stretch or damage other suspension components including bushings and mounting points.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications and safety. While experienced DIY mechanics can complete this installation with appropriate tools and workshop facilities, front shock replacement involves working with heavy suspension components under load. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to restore factory geometry and prevent premature tyre wear. We recommend a 500-kilometre break-in period with varied driving conditions to allow bushings to settle and shocks to bed in properly. For vehicles with significant front-end weight from bull bars and winches, consider pairing these shocks with upgraded control arms or heavy-duty coil springs for optimal geometry and load management.
Bilstein has been engineering world-leading monotube shock absorber technology in Germany since 1954, with Australian division testing and validation across the harshest terrain on earth. From Dakar Rally podiums to outback touring rigs crossing the Canning Stock Route, Bilstein suspension products are trusted by professional motorsport teams, commercial operators and serious tourers who demand absolute reliability. Every Bilstein shock is backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and decades of proven performance in extreme heat, dust, corrugations and loaded touring conditions unique to Australia.
These Bilstein front shocks are ideal for Ford Everest owners who demand superior ride quality and durability whether daily commuting, towing caravans up to 3,000kg, exploring remote tracks, or carrying heavy touring loads. Tradespeople who need reliable performance hauling tools and equipment, families touring with roof-top tents and camping gear, and grey nomads covering thousands of kilometres on corrugated outback roads will all benefit from Bilstein's legendary damping control. For Everest owners regularly carrying extreme rear loads or towing near maximum capacity, consider adding airbag suspension to the rear for on-demand load levelling and enhanced towing stability.

These Bilstein front shock absorbers (part numbers 24-231527 and 24-317726) are specifically engineered for Ford Everest models from 2015 onwards, covering both the original UA series and the updated UA II series from 2018-current. They fit all trim levels including Ambiente, Trend, Titanium and Sport variants, compatible with both 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.2L Duratorq diesel engines. If you're unsure about your specific vehicle variant or have aftermarket modifications, please contact our suspension specialists or use our parts finder tool to confirm exact fitment before ordering.
These Bilstein front shocks are designed as direct factory replacements and do not provide lift on their own — they maintain your Everest's current ride height while dramatically improving damping performance and control. If you're seeking additional ground clearance, these shocks pair perfectly with raised coil springs (typically 40-50mm lift options available) to create a complete front suspension upgrade. The extended shock travel and robust construction accommodate lifted applications without compromising ride quality or bottoming out under load. For lift kit recommendations specific to your load requirements, our suspension experts can help design a complete package.
This kit includes two matched Bilstein monotube gas pressure front shock absorbers specifically valved for the Ford Everest 2015-ON platform, along with all necessary mounting hardware and bushings required for installation. You'll receive Bilstein part numbers 24-231527 and 24-317726, engineered as a pair to deliver balanced front-end performance. This is a shocks-only package — rear shocks, coil springs, leaf springs, upper control arms and other suspension components are sold separately. If you're building a complete suspension upgrade, we can recommend compatible components or package deals tailored to your Everest's configuration and intended use.
Yes, these Bilstein front shocks are exceptionally well-suited for towing applications up to your Ford Everest's rated 3,000kg capacity. The monotube gas pressure design and velocity-sensitive valving maintain superior damping control under the increased front-end loads experienced during braking with a heavy trailer, reducing nose-dive and improving steering precision and stability. The high-pressure nitrogen charge prevents shock fade during extended highway towing or when navigating steep descents. For optimal towing performance and rear-end load management, consider complementing these front shocks with upgraded rear shocks and possibly airbag suspension to maintain level ride height when loaded.
Factory control arms are generally sufficient when replacing shocks at standard ride height or modest lifts up to 50mm, provided they're in good condition without worn bushings or ball joints. However, if you're installing a significant lift kit, carrying very heavy front-end accessories like large winches and steel bull bars, or experience excessive caster angle changes, upgraded heavy-duty control arms can restore proper suspension geometry and improve handling. Control arm upgrades also provide additional strength for aggressive off-road use and correct ball joint angles that may become compromised with lifted springs. Our suspension specialists can assess your specific setup and recommend whether control arm upgrades would benefit your build.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after fitting these or any front shock absorbers, even when replacing shocks at factory ride height. While shock replacement doesn't directly affect alignment angles like spring or control arm changes do, the installation process involves disconnecting suspension components that can shift slightly during reassembly. Proper alignment ensures even tyre wear, optimal handling characteristics, and prevents premature wear of suspension bushings and steering components. Most reputable suspension workshops will include alignment as part of the installation service. Allow the suspension to settle over 100-200 kilometres, then have alignment rechecked to ensure specifications remain within factory or modified parameters.
These Bilstein front shocks are supplied as a matched pair with valving pre-engineered for the Ford Everest platform across a range of load conditions. While the shocks themselves don't have adjustable spring rates, they're compatible with various coil spring options should you choose to upgrade your springs separately — from factory-rate replacements to heavy-duty raised springs for increased load capacity. When selecting spring rates for your Everest build, choose based only on constant accessory load (permanently fitted equipment like bull bars, winches, drawers), not occasional loads like camping gear or towing weight. Over-springing results in harsh ride quality and potential component damage, so accurate load assessment is critical for optimal performance.
These Bilstein front shocks alone don't change your Everest's tyre clearance, as they maintain current ride height. However, when paired with raised coil springs (typically 40-50mm lift), most Ford Everest owners can fit 265/65R18 or 265/70R17 tyres with minimal to no modification depending on wheel offset and suspension compression under load. More aggressive sizes like 275/65R18 may require minor guard trimming or aftermarket offset wheels to prevent rubbing at full lock or compression. Tyre fitment also depends on your specific Everest series, existing wheel offset, and whether you've installed aftermarket bull bars or guard extensions. For precise tyre recommendations based on your complete suspension setup and intended use, contact our technical team for personalized advice.
These genuine Bilstein shock absorbers are backed by Bilstein's comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship when used within their designed application and load parameters. Warranty duration and specific terms are provided with your purchase documentation and vary by product series and application. Bilstein's reputation for durability means warranty claims are rare, but should any manufacturing defect arise, our team will facilitate the warranty process directly with Bilstein Australia. To maintain warranty validity, we recommend professional installation, adherence to recommended service intervals, and avoiding modifications or use beyond the shock's designed capacity. Keep your proof of purchase and installation documentation for any future warranty service requirements.
Absolutely — these Bilstein monotube shocks excel in daily driving conditions and deliver noticeably improved ride comfort compared to worn factory shocks or budget replacements. The velocity-sensitive digressive valving automatically adjusts damping characteristics based on input speed: soft and compliant over small road imperfections, speed humps and expansion joints for comfortable commuting, yet firm enough to control body roll during cornering and braking. Unlike some heavy-duty 4WD shocks that sacrifice on-road comfort for extreme off-road capability, Bilstein's German engineering achieves an ideal balance perfect for vehicles used primarily on sealed roads with occasional dirt road touring or beach driving. The monotube design also runs cooler and maintains consistent performance during extended highway cruising, making them ideal for long-distance touring or daily commutes.
