Review on 🚗 Bilstein (33-187563) 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber: Premium Performance and Superior Suspension Damping by Christopher Hicks

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Shoddy Manufacturing

The first pair I got from Revain came with lock nuts that couldn't be screwed onto the shaft. The folks at the hardware store shook their heads because they couldn't find English or metric ones to fit these third-party shocks on Revain. I returned them but the replacement Bilsteins sold and shipped by Revain had sloppy welds on the integral nut that keeps the shaft from turning when you tighten the top nut. My open end wrench couldn't hook it in because the weld overlapped some of the nut faces. To be honest, I expected more from Bilstein. I can only hope that the shock absorbers work as advertised.

Pros
  • Country of origin: USA
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
