I've got Bilsteing shock in the front of my car and there is no rubber "stop" bumper like the Boge shocks use. Do the Bilstein use the rubber bumper on top of the shock (under the cover) like the Boge. The piston is much fatter on the Bilstein and the bumpers I have won't fit.
Also my covers are some what loose and rattle around a bit. I do have a large plastic washer that goes under the cover and rests on top of the shock piston, but this does not seem to be enough to stop the covers from rattling. Is there a cure for this? Am I missing parts? thanks -Rob |

Stock '74 2.0 installed Billstiens, had exact same question, installed anyways as described in the instructions, straight foward installation. No problems yet and its been 8 months. Just make sure the threaded part is tight if it loosens it will clang like you think your losing you swing arms.. Just install them no worrries. If there was suppossed to be a rubber buffer we would have all got one in our facrtory box, that is not to say there would be at least one unlucky S.O.B. but it is not you..
