So the wagon started to wallow a little on one side. Ordered a warranty replacement shock through Bilstein and removed this......
Tim,
According to their ads it is guaranteed for your ownership of the car. let me know because I plan to order a set (front and rear) of the HDs on payday.

| Wow..
I have had Bilsteins on all my wagons. I tried the K&B and the Monroe. I went right back to the Bilsteins. All I can say is that they are worth the extra initial cost. | |

| One of my Bilsteins broke the same way. They are made too cheaply. You can see it snapped in two in this pic:  | |

| Something doesn't look right on that lower control arm. I can't put my finger on it. | |

| Pretty sure that these damaged parts may be related in some way! |

| I was under the back of my wagon yesterday and seen that one of them has blown out so looks like I will have to contact them as well. | |

| They have a program where you buy a shock for 1/2 of the retail price. Install the new shock and send back the old. If it is truly a bad shock AND under warranty they refund all of your money including shipping both ways. Very fair deal. When I saw the shock was broken I called them and saved them the freight with pictures. So I did not ship that shock back. | |
