Bilstein bushings? (1 Viewer)

[jditom]

Upgrading my shocks to Bilsteins and noticed that the front came with 2 normal size and 2 larger bushings? Anyone have any thoughts for there location. I noticed the lower shock support is longer so I assume they go down there?

Since you can't torque the upper shock nut how tight are you guys going?

As a note I found that some of the OEM washers were thicker and fit better than the bills so I reused them.

Not sure if the bushings have different diameters; but the thicker ones ALWAYS go under the body/frame. Torque the nut till the bushing starts to bulge.

My spidy sences must be working since that is what I did.
Almost done with TRE, shocks, steering shock. Can't wait to drive it. The old shocks have no life in them

I put them twards the inside (closer to the shock body) for slightly longer travel (1/2" maybe?)

the instructions showed only same size bushings.
