Bilstein shocks

[kewltrks]

Hey all,
So I just replaced my shocks with the Bilstein 5100, Noticed the bushings on the new shocks are smaller than the original ones, Are the originals just bigger from the factory? Everything fits fine shouldn't be any issues. Right??

Thanks.

What bushings are you talking about, the eyelet or stem top? Assuming the bolt hole is the same size as stock? A picture would be helpful.

Oh sorry the front shock top stem bushings

If the I.D is the same and the O.D. is just a little smaller thats fine.

No Problem. When you tighten the top shock mount, the bushings expand. The old bushings take a set and ar wider than the new bushings.
