Shock Rear 4WD Nissan Pathfinder

The BILSTEIN B6 4600 Series Shock Rear 4WD Nissan Pathfinder is a monotube rear shock absorber engineered for 2005–2012 Pathfinder models equipped with four-wheel drive. Built with a steel body and finished in distinctive yellow paint, this shock is designed to replace OEM rear dampers and restore suspension responsiveness on aging or worn suspension systems.

BILSTEIN's 4600 Series monotube design uses pressurized nitrogen to separate the piston rod from the fluid chamber, eliminating cavitation and fade during sustained compression cycles. This architecture is critical for off-road and towing applications where suspension is cycled repeatedly under load. The monotube design also provides consistent damping response across temperature extremes—a practical advantage for vehicles operating in varied climates or under demanding conditions. The shock's 21.9-inch length and 4.3-pound weight are engineered to match OEM geometry, ensuring correct ride height and suspension geometry on the Pathfinder platform.

This shock is suited for owners of 4WD Pathfinders seeking to replace worn rear dampers without modifying suspension travel or stance. The B6 4600 Series strikes a balance between durability and comfort, making it appropriate for daily driving as well as light off-road use. Pathfinder owners tackling rutted terrain, towing trailers, or simply tired of excessive body roll on aging OEM shocks will benefit from the improved damping control this unit provides.

BILSTEIN is recognized in the automotive aftermarket for shock and suspension components that prioritize longevity and real-world performance over cost-cutting. The B6 line occupies the middle tier of BILSTEIN's passenger-vehicle lineup—above basic OEM replacement but below the high-end B8 platform—making it a proven choice for owners seeking measurable improvement without premium pricing.
