i'll be getting some new shocks soon. the bilstein touring sounds pretty good other than the known rattling from the rear. i'm wondering if anyone has had _recent_ experience with these things. has bilstein corrected this problem?

moreover, is shimming the top mounting sleeve of the shock a sure-fire way to get rid of this noise? i have stainless sheets of different thickness at hand, so i can shim it pretty easily.

TIA.
