...starting to think that. Rear passenger one bit the dust in March, with about 40k on it. Rear driver is seeping now it seems, with 42k on it.

Is there any warranty I could use? I bought the passenger one, but since it's the second time I'm sick of it. :banghead:

There regular line,base shocks for stock vehicles, is but there higher end line is about the best you can get but you pay for that quality also.


My 7100 series Bilsteins have been great and if I ever need to I can rebuild them myself.

I don't remember what ones I have. They are silver not yellow. So far they have held up. Hope I don't have any issues.

**edit** I got the 5125. Hope those are not junk.

I have the 5100 and they are awesome. The only issue I' had was that I bent a shock when a shock mount broke.
