On Friday I received via UPS two brand new rear replacement Bilstein HDs. For the past year I had been hearing horrible clunking sounds from the driver's side rear even after replacing all bushings. Finally switched sides and the clunks shifted to the right. Swapped in Boge Autos and the clunks completely gone! Contacted Bilstein and had both rears shipped to the factory for testing. I had purchased the full set brand new but apparently one was shot. They replaced both rears with brand new ones no questions asked. I'm pumped to get these babies back in, but a little anoyed that for the past year it was indeed the shock that was bad and not necessarily my bushings. I partly blame myself for not switching the sides earlier but at least the entire front and rear suspension is brand spanking new. So, if you recently purchased HD's and are experiencing clunks that you can't nail...could be the Bilsteins!!

Best,
-Adam
