Bilstein Shocks

Boy am I glad Bilstein offers a lifetime warranty of their shocks...:sarcastic:

So one of my B46-1913 went bad (leaking oil out of the top) so the place I purchased them from sent me a BE5-2406-M2 to replace the B46-1913

Now I am concerned that I will have 2 different performing shocks up front...I am under the assumption from some mild research that the B46-1913 and BE5-2406-M2 have different bump and rebound

WTF am I supposed to do now?

The valvings are different.... You need to replace both.

Thanks Sam...that is what I was thinking.

I am sure the place I bought it from will allow me to switch out both under warranty. I just hate having to do double the labor

If one failed it would leave me wondering about the other. I'd replace axles sets.
