The Bilstein Rear Shock Absorber Pair (24-290562) is a direct-fit monotube gas shock engineered for the Ford Everest Next-Gen (2022-ON), giving fade-free damping control whether you're towing a caravan or running solo. Monotube construction separates oil and gas via an internal floating piston, cutting heat build-up on long touring runs and steadying the rear axle under load. Pair it with our rear coil springs range if you're after a raised rear stance to match. Backed by Bilstein's factory warranty, Australian stock and fitment support from our team.

Because this listing is shocks only, spring rate selection happens on the coil spring side of your setup. Choose a rear spring rated for your typical constant load — bull bar, dual battery tray, water tanks, drawer system or caravan tow ball weight all add up. Common accessories affecting rear spring choice include canopy and tray fit-outs, long-range fuel tanks, roof-top tents and caravan or camper trailer coupling weight.
Fitting a rear shock pair is a straightforward job for an experienced DIY installer with a hoist and basic hand tools, though most owners book it in with a suspension workshop for a same-day fit. Wheel alignment is not directly affected by a shock-only swap, but it's worth checking geometry if you're also changing springs at the same time. Allow a short settling period after fitment as new bushes seat in. If you're planning a rear lift alongside these shocks, look at pairing with upgraded control arms to keep rear geometry correct at ride height.
Bilstein has built monotube gas shock technology for decades and supplies damping units to OEM manufacturers as well as the aftermarket. Their shocks are backed by a factory warranty and are a common upgrade choice for Australian tourers and tradespeople running the Everest Next-Gen hard. You can view the full Bilstein range for matching front shocks and other Everest-specific components.
This pair suits Everest Next-Gen owners who tow caravans, run canopy tray setups for work, or simply want firmer, fade-free rear damping over standard units. If you're regularly carrying heavy constant loads, also check our airbag suspension options to support the rear coil springs. Grey nomads and weekend tourers alike benefit from the reduced heat fade on long highway or dirt-road runs.
In stock and dispatched from Australia, with expert fitment support from our team on every order. Browse our full lift kit range if you're planning a complete Everest Next-Gen suspension upgrade alongside these shocks.

Yes, part number 24-290562 is a direct-fit rear shock absorber built specifically for the Ford Everest Next-Gen (2022-ON), covering both the 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.0L V6 diesel variants. No bracket modification or drilling is needed for installation. If you're running a modified rear end or aftermarket springs already, contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering. We check fitment against your exact build before dispatch on request.
This rear shock pair does not raise ride height on its own — lift comes from the coil springs, not the shock. These Bilstein units are valved to work at standard ride height and can also be paired with our raised rear coil springs range if you're chasing a lifted stance. If you want a specific lift outcome, talk to our team about matching a spring rate to these shocks.
You get two Bilstein rear shock absorbers (24-290562) complete with mounting bushes, washers and fitting hardware, plus manufacturer fitting instructions. Front shocks, coil springs, leaf springs and control arms are sold separately. This listing covers the rear axle only. If you need a full front and rear package, our team can put together a matching set for your Everest Next-Gen.
Yes, the monotube gas design is well suited to towing because it resists fade better than a twin-tube shock under sustained load and heat. It improves rear axle control when you're pulling a caravan or camper trailer on the Everest Next-Gen. For heavier constant tow ball loads, consider pairing with a higher-rated rear coil spring or our airbag suspension range for extra support.
Not necessarily for a rear shock-only swap, since control arm geometry is more affected by front-end lift than rear shock changes. If you're also lifting the front of your Everest Next-Gen, upgraded control arms help maintain correct alignment angles at the increased height. Our team can advise whether your specific setup needs a control arm upgrade.
A straight shock-for-shock swap doesn't usually change alignment geometry, so a full alignment isn't mandatory. However, if you're fitting new springs or other suspension components at the same time, we recommend a post-install alignment check. It's good practice generally after any suspension work to confirm toe and camber are within spec.
Yes, these Bilstein shocks are commonly paired with a range of rear coil spring rates depending on your constant load — think bull bar, canopy, water tanks or tow ball weight. Our coil springs range covers standard and raised options for the Everest Next-Gen. Speak with our team about matching spring rate to your accessory setup.
On their own, these rear shocks don't create extra tyre clearance since they don't raise ride height. If you want to run larger tyres, you'll need a raised coil spring setup or a lift kit alongside these shocks. Check our lift kits range if a tyre upgrade is part of your plan.
These shocks are backed by Bilstein's factory warranty, giving you manufacturer-level cover on materials and workmanship. We also provide fitment support from our Australian team if you have questions before or after installation. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, the monotube gas valving is tuned to balance everyday comfort with the control needed for occasional towing or loaded touring. It's not a specialised off-road-only shock, so it suits owners who use their Everest Next-Gen for commuting as well as weekend trips. Many tradespeople and tourers run this shock as their everyday rear unit without issue.
