This isue just keeps draging on and on. I hate to see this turn out bad, but I had the feeling It would.I know FFR will loose , but I have the feeling that the builders are going to get bitten on this as well.This is a no win for everybody.I think FFR stuck their head in the sand for to long.Now it's grown to big for them to handle.Roger

Except for the fact that this has been a well known problem for along time and FFR ignored it.

I have been telling Dave Smith that this is a problem and is not being dealt with correctly for 2 years and 3 months now.

I have a feeling it will still end in a love fest even though 2 months ago he said he believes they are safe.

Another co-pay solution coming up??

you gotta like the spirit of the guy praising dave for getting the word out about the safety problem to all the owners as if this was a new finding.

Nope, posting it for everyone to see was excellent and the correct thing to do...
Now everyone with Bilsteins can inspect their units.
I'm not sure what to look for just yet...I don't know all the details, but knowing that you should inspect the units is the first step...
No sarcasm was intended...and hopefully, no one will start bashing FFR now. (yeah, right)
From my experience, all of these cars need to be gone thru by their owners on a regular basis. Some are driven hard, and it's our necks on the line. I know a few who do very little maintenance...and maybe some like me who maybe do too much...BTW: I know of someone with an FFR who had a shock failure. Luckily, no one was hurt and damage was minimal...
