Brand Bilstein
Front Shock Absorber for vehicles fitted with the Adaptive Dynamics continuously variable damping system, forming part of the front damper and road spring assembly.

The unit mounts between the lower suspension arm and the body turret, controlling road spring oscillation and wheel movement throughout its stroke. In place of a fixed damping rate it carries an electrically operated proportional valve, wired into the vehicle harness and commanded by the suspension control module, so damping force is varied continuously in response to road surface and driver inputs.

Fitted one per side. Replace in axle pairs so damping characteristics remain matched across the axle, and check the top mount and bump stop condition while the strut is out.

Frequently asked questions

What is the T2H1681-B4 shock absorber?
The T2H1681-B4 is a front shock absorber (damper) for the Jaguar XF, made by Bilstein. It's specified for cars with Adaptive Dynamics, the electronically controlled damping system. It fits the XF X250 (2008-2015) and X260 (2015+) in rear-wheel drive form.
How many front shock absorbers do I need?
You'll typically need two front shock absorbers, one per side, on the Jaguar XF. Replacing them in pairs keeps damping even side to side. This part covers one front damper for the X250 or X260 XF with Adaptive Dynamics.
Does this damper fit XF models without Adaptive Dynamics?
This damper is specified for Jaguar XF models with Adaptive Dynamics, the adjustable electronic suspension. Cars without that system use a different damper, so check whether your XF X250 or X260 has Adaptive Dynamics before ordering.
What are the signs a front shock absorber needs replacing?
A worn front shock absorber usually shows as a floaty or bouncy ride, nose dive under braking, and uneven tyre wear. On the Jaguar XF an Adaptive Dynamics damper can also trigger a suspension warning if it fails. Replace in pairs for balanced handling.
