bilstein b6

Post by pinaster »

Hallo there! i'm planning to buy bilstein b6 (part number 35-108177) for my caddy.
Bilstein recommends to mount it without bump stop; actually this shock absorber has a large stem and the old OE stop will not fit sure.

one more question:
Bilstein says nothing about the dust cover. I suspect the dust coverwill not stay on itself without the rubber bump.
Anybody can Help?

Bilstien shocks have internal bump stops, and yes you need to reuse the dust cover it pops into the top mount by a few mm. Have you not thought about b8's ?

These shortened for use with lowering springs. Ignore pics usually wrong, these will be for 55mm hub cups.
