Bilstein HD rear shock faulty...finally confirmed!! 200

Ok, so you know I've been constantly hearing clunking sounds coming from the driver's side rear after installing Bilstein HDs. Well today finally figured out the problem and should have done this a long time ago before replacing bushings, trailing arms, etc. The actual shock is faulty. First, had the rears switch sides. Result: Clunk now on the passenger-rear. Second: Had the Bilstein's swapped for OEM Boge. Result: No noise, no clunks.

I'd like to keep the Bilstein setup, so should I contact Bilstein directly for a replacement or first try the place where I bought them (Turner Motorsports, Amesbury, MA). It's been a year, but they have a lifetime warantee right? With the recent rumors of valving differences I'm wondering if I should have both replaced...

Thanks!
