Post subject:  Bilstien shock bushings

Hey I was curios if anyone else have had this problem, I put a OME lift with Bilstien shocks on last march, I have been getting some excessive shock noise in the rear end. the top bushing of the shock is bad. I'm wondering if it's possible to just replace the bushings, or do I have to buy new rear shocks just for bad bushings?

I've done some reaserch but have not been able to find anything conclusive.

Thanks for your advise

Per Tom, you need CRD shock bolts. Or put a Sleeve in there.
I have the same problem, But I still didnt fix it...

Alright cool, I never even thought to put a sleeve in there. :roll: are the CRD bolts that much bigger? I would have thought that it would have the same rear suspention components. shows how much I know about CRD's. guess I have some reading up to do.

Thanks guys. I use this forum a lot! although I don't post much because most of the info is already around just gotta find it.
