Thread: Bilstiens Shock Bushings

    Default Bilstiens Shock Bushings

    I recall someone (I think it was driftdevil) posting up the lower bushings for R package Bilstiens. But my search skillz seem to be a bit weak today......

    Does anyone know of a source for the lower shock bushings?

    TIA

    Still Searching anyone got any first hand experience with this bushing? I've found a few but not sure what size I need.

    TIA

    Went up in the attic and measured the bushings on an old OEM black NA shock.

    1.77" long x .440" ID x 1.375" OD

    Figure the length and the ID would be the same for the Bilstiens sound logical?


    Think I found them at Summit - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BSN-E4GV1Z044A02/

    Call Bilstein in CA (858-386-5900) and ask for Clarence in "small parts". He's a busy guy and hard to get on the phone, but should be able to get you what you need based on shock part number. Post up the part # of the bushings if you get them since I need some too!

    The ones from Summit are an exact match of the originals.

    A press would be handy but I was able to get the bushings on and of with the help of my bench Vice, C-Clamp, and some sockets.

    Took it for a spirited run and the thunk I was hearing is gone!
