August 2, 201511 yr #1 Hi, Just looking to confirm part numbers for Bilstein shocks to suit FG XR6T ute (standard height)Theres no listing for the Falcon on Bilstein's online catalogue. I know the front is F4-BE5-G639-MOI'm assuming rear is F4-B46-1140 but would like to confirm if this is correct? Thanks
August 11, 201511 yr #2 When I put Bilstein shocks on the back of my 2007 BFII Tornado a few weeks ago the part number was F4-B46-1140-H0.The FG is the same back end, so I'm assuming that they are the same rear shocks.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90489-2007-fpv-tornado-ute-tinkering-setup/page-3#entry1552725
August 18, 201511 yr #3 Author Thanks for the reply,I have been looking to buy the rears from America as it would be almost $300 cheaper but it apparently they are revalved for the Falcon.http://ww.w.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11363093
August 20, 201511 yr #4 The lower mount is also not the same - the 1140 part number is modified with the lower tapered bolt to suit the utes.
August 21, 201511 yr #5 Author Thanks for the input. Do you happen to know if they're definitely re-valved as well or is that is just marketing talk from the distributor to protect their markups? I'm assuming the eye bushes can be pressed out of the original shocks and re-fitted to the Bilsteins?I purchased a set of Bilstein fronts for the FG locally today and was supplied shocks with the part number 24-213486. I've never come across this part number before so I emailed Bilstein Australia and they haven't either. They believe it may be a custom shock from Quadrant in Victoria so I'l chase that up on Monday.Seems there's some wierd behind the scenes stuff going on with Bilstein shocks for the Falcons. If the rears are revalved F4-B46-1140 aka 24-011402 like they say then they should really be supplied a different part number to differentiate them from the Toyota 4Runner shocks!
August 22, 201511 yr #6 Ive been doing some homework on bilstein shocks weather or not I need them when lowering 30mm on my new fgx and no1 seems to be able to supply proper part numbers. Some say you will need a B6 some say B8. Ask for part numbers to look into it, and a no response.
