Shock Bushings

Post by the x kid »

Hey folks,does anyone know if you can replace the rubber bushings on a shock[Bilstien in this case].Just replaced mine with Ranchos and was thinking of selling the Bills,[still seem pretty good] except the bottom rubber bushings are a little buggered.Probably would still work though.

I'm pretty sure you can contact Bilstein to get replacement bushings.

I know for sure you can get replacements from Rancho, so you'd think that you can get ones from Bilstein as well.

Maybe use a vice. That is how I did my control arm bushings. Just make sure they go in straight.
