The Bilstein B6 Performance rear monotube shock (part number 24-245807) is a replacement damper for the Porsche Macan without PASM electronic damping. The manufacturer's catalog lists it for Macan models from 2015 through 2021, so confirm your model year before ordering. Choosing it over a generic economy shock means choosing a damper from Bilstein's B6 performance line, which is positioned as a step up from factory damping. Owners on user forums report that new rear shocks on a 2015 Macan S cured a rear clunk and made the car ride like new.
Fitment is the key check. Owners on user forums note that PASM-equipped Macans use different Bilstein DampTronic shocks, so this non-PASM part is not the right choice for those cars. Enthusiasts searching for a 2015 Macan non-PASM rear monotube shock, a Bilstein B6 95B rear damper, or a rear shock upgrade for standard steel suspension should confirm their car is equipped with standard coil suspension. The manufacturer lists items as sold in single units, so an axle requires two.
No. Owners on user forums report that PASM-equipped Macans use Bilstein DampTronic shocks instead, so confirm your car's suspension setup before ordering.
The manufacturer lists this item as sold in single units, so order one for each rear side.
Owners on user forums say the Macan's shock and suspension fasteners are one-time-use, torque-to-yield parts, so plan on new hardware.
Rear shock replacement on a Macan is a moderately advanced DIY job. Owners on user forums describe the rear as more involved than the front, especially without Porsche's spring compressor, and say it can require loosening other rear suspension components. Plan on a floor jack and stands, a torque wrench capable of the angle-based final tightening step that owners describe for the lower bolt, and a spring compressor. Replace the torque-to-yield bolts rather than reusing them, and follow the factory service sequence for torque values, which owners recommend over general torque charts.
