Product Details
Ford E-series 1998, B8 5100 Series 46mm Smooth Body Monotube Front Steering Stabilizer by Bilstein®. Quantity: 1 per Pack. Bilstein® B8 5100 (Dual Steering Damper Kit) is designed as a bolt on auxiliary kit for solid axle 4WD vehicles. This kit features 2 steering dampers offering improved steering isolation. The dual kit mounts both dampers inline and opposing each other, which greatly enhances the "on center" feel. The steering dampers, included in the kit, are a gas pressurized monotube design and will provide fully functional damping in a horizontal position. These steering dampers, by design, have the advantage of controlling even the slightest steering movements to reduce steering wheel shake. With Bilstein® B8 5100 (Dual Steering Damper Kit), you will greatly improve the steering feedback and handling of your vehicle.

Gas Pressure Technology. Over time, the mono-tube gas pressure technology developed by Bilstein® has established itself as a standard in automotive construction. This technology involves keeping the oil in the absorber under pressure, which prevents it from foaming when temperatures and loads are increasing. As a result, full damping power is retained even when the system is placed under extreme stress, a feature that can be observed in the self-lowering piston.
Road-Tested by Bilstein®. To achieve that celebrated Bilstein® driving experience, Bilstein® engineers rely on not only technology that is truly at the cutting edge, but also something that has withstood the test of time: how it feels to the driver. As a result, all of Bilstein® high-performance absorbers, as well as Bilstein® sport suspensions and threaded ride height adjustable kits, undergo a rigorous testing program. On the Nürburgring and in Bilstein® own test centre at the Papenburg test track, Bilstein® drivers test how balanced the driving characteristics of various vehicles are in a variety of different driving situations. Only when they have passed this program of tests with distinction are they allowed to bear the Bilstein® name. This way, Bilstein® can guarantee that celebrated Bilstein® driving experience.
In 1954, Bilstein® was the first to realize the potential offered by an idea of Prof. Bourcier de Carbon, a French researcher in the field of vibrations. The aim was to eliminate the physical disadvantages of the conventional telescopic shock absorbers, whilst at the same time making the dampers lighter and able to be fitted in any position. The name Bilstein has for many decades been closely associated with high tech in the field of suspension design, driving comfort and safety. In order to expand this position in the future, Bilstein became a division of ThyssenKrupp Technologies AG in 1988, and a wholly-owned subsidiary in 2005. The partnership and co-operation within the group will enable the company to continue to inspire with innovations in the traditional Bilstein way.
