This Bilstein B6 front left strut assembly (part number 22-268907) is built for the 2009–2015 Honda Pilot and replaces the factory left-side front strut as a complete unit. The B6 line uses a velocity-sensitive, digressive piston meant to keep damping consistent as road conditions change. This unit is tuned for stock-height vehicles and is designed to work with factory springs and mounting hardware, so it restores the Pilot's original ride height rather than changing it.
Compared with worn stock struts, the B6 is aimed at tighter body control, steadier handling, and better ride quality, especially on long grades or spirited back-road driving where a cheap strut can fade. Published fitment lists vary on trim (EX, EX-L, LX, Touring, SE) and drivetrain wording, so confirm your trim and AWD, FWD, or 4WD setup against the manufacturer's fitment guide before ordering. This is the left unit only; the right side is sold separately as 22-268914.
Searching for a 2009-2015 Honda Pilot front left strut, Bilstein B6 22-268907 install, or fade-resistant Pilot strut upgrade? This complete assembly is a practical bolt-in option for a DIY front-end refresh, and a Honda Pilot owner can usually complete the swap in a single afternoon with basic hand tools and a floor jack.
Not with certainty from the published data alone. Fitment lists differ on trim and drivetrain wording, so confirm your exact trim and whether your Pilot is FWD, AWD, or 4WD against the manufacturer's fitment guide before you buy.
Owners on user forums describe the job as doable at home with a floor jack, jack stands, and common sockets, and it generally takes a few hours per side for someone with moderate mechanical experience. Work on one side at a time so you can reference the other side's geometry.
Expect this to be a moderate-difficulty job that takes a few hours per side. You will likely need 12mm, 17mm, 22mm, and 24mm sockets or wrenches, a torque wrench, a floor jack, jack stands, and wheel chocks. Keep a spring compressor on hand in case your install steps call for one. Support the strut before loosening its lower bolts, because it will drop once released. Owners on user forums report that removing the foam strip above the firewall makes the upper mount nuts easier to reach. They also note the sway bar link may not line up with the strut bracket; jacking the control arm and compressing the strut slightly usually lets it seat. Some owners say the wheel-speed sensor cable tab on replacement struts may not match the factory part, so transfer the cable routing carefully. Torque all fasteners to the manufacturer's specifications.
