So I ordered the Bilstein inserts for the front. 34-001134. Haynes shows bump stops. I ordered bump stops, but they don't fit. Called Bilstein and they gave me a part number E4-AP2-Z118A01. Unfortunately this is not a good part number even on their website. It was a bad cell connection so I could have gotten part of the number wrong.
The question is are these the wrong part or am I just to wimpy to jam them on? If you have a part number for what I need please let me know.     |

There is usually a 2-3mm gap between the strut body and the top cap. That's normal. It looks like it should screw down flat but it doesn't. That way you know it's tight without bottoming out the cap.
Also, Bilstein says no oil in the bottom of the strut like the old days. I still put in a tablespoon just in case moisture gets in to the strut body. |
