Review on Bilstein 24 196499 Height Adjustable Absorber by Narendra Thapa

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Hubs failed on the first set at 6,000 km

I set shock absorbers to .75". Initially, they rode very well and greatly improved handling. But after about a year and 6,000 km, the lower bushings failed. So I had to buy another set and reinstall and realign. I don't think it was an installation error as I have used many 5100s in the past cars with thousands of accident free miles. Probably just bad luck with that. Make sure to align after installation. My 30,000-mile 4Runner wasn't even close after installing it.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
