Rear Bilstein HDs replaced by factory...determined faulty!!! 200

Me too. I bought some from IPD about 6 months ago. As soon as I heard all of the clunking I switched them, and then the clunking switched sides as well. So, I called IPD about it, and they said that the have been getting back a lot of reports about these shocks. They had some people working on solving the issue and they were considering stopping selling the product until the issue was solved.

So, I decided to upgrade to Koni, they sent them out right away. I swapped them out and sent the bilsteins back to them and they gave me a refund. Not to painless, besides the part about me taking off the orgonal shocks, putting on the bilsteins. Then taking off the bilsteins to put them on opposite sides, and then taking them off again and putting on the Koni. But in the end, I am happy, IPD stood by the product they sell and Bilstein stands behind their product.

This is apparently a recent issue. Older models of Bilsteins don't have this problem, so this problem could be solved soon. If you are in the market, you should call IPD and ask them if the problem has been solved yet.
