Re: Bilstein 5100 install question
They are the sleeves that go inside the poly on both ends of the shocks.

Re: Bilstein 5100 install question
That's what I figured they were, but the shocks already have the rubber bushings with the metal sleeves inside. So I can assume they are just spares?

Re: Bilstein 5100 install question
Yeah, and they are a PITA to get in and out. At least I've not found a good way, other than a wooden block and a BFH.

Re: Bilstein 5100 install question
Dank, greg was correct. I purchased those bilstiens when they
first came out and just left them in the box if anyone needed them at first. The original fitted bilstiens also needed the washers as well, unlike the newer ones. Just toss them out. Sorry. Happy trails.... |

Re: Bilstein 5100 install question
This may be a stupid question, but do the Bilstein's install with the dust boot on the top or the bottom? Or does it matter?
Thanks, -C |
