Perfect....
Now, what is failing on these shocks? I'll just bet is the welds on the top and bottom mounting hoops... Is the problem across the Bilstein product line in general or only specific Bilstein model shocks? Thanks for the photos... |
Blas - typically shafts are snapping at the end of the threads. As to the reason why - that discussion has been going on for over 2 years.

Thanks...this is what's great about this forum....

Great info.
My SPF 1049 is supposed to have Bilstein shocks. I'm not 100% sure, because I've never checked them. The paperwork that came from the dealer (Olthoff) said it had Bilstein shocks. Car was built by SPF in Feb 2001. The FFR letter said 2003 to 2008. So I guess I need to check my shock serial numbers, just in case? Can you see the serial number without removing the shock? |
Hmm... my old FFR (bought in 03) came with Pro Shocks, not Bilstiens. I wonder why they used two different brands within the same time period.

WTM442, On my front shocks you can see the numbers by removing the tire.It's right at the top of the shock. On the rear I removed the tire and the bottem mounting bolt. I slid the bottem of the shock off the stud so I could turn the spring so I could see the number on the body of the shock.Roger

Just a question
My SFP was build in 2003, by any change SPF used Bilstien, or should I call SPF and ask for this info? Does SPF keep all the record of the build-sheet? Regards Tan |

If you don't figure out what shocks you have by then, would you mind driving behind the rest of us on Friday? :LOL: |
