Replacement Bilstein Strut - PLEASE HELP!!

Post by johnnyc75 » Tue May 22, 2012 1:02 pm

Hi Folks,

I have just been told by my garage that I have a leaking rear strut.

According to him, this part is on back-order and will take 4-5 weeks

Does anyone know where I can try to get them quicker or indeed have any for sale?? :biggrin3: :biggrin3:

Or any other suggestions???? I am waiting for Bilstein to get back to me..

Thanks Johnny

You've got a leaky billy? That's bad news.

I'd complain to Bilstein in Germany directly. They might send you a new strut.
