Review on Bilstein 33-186559 5125 Series Shock Absorber: Ideal for Lifted Pickups, SUVs, and Jeeps by Gary Newman

Revainrating 2 out of 5

These shocks are great after having the correct lugs and bushings for the .

These shock absorbers fit perfectly once I installed the correct studs and bushings for my particular application. However, after they were installed for a little over a month, oil from the shock body began to flow down the shaft. It's a gas/oil shock absorber, so now it's leaking oil and probably the nitrogen gas it contains. I have now contacted ProAm Auto Accessories with a warranty claim and/or replacement with no response within two days. Trying to contact Bilstein for warranty claims is also a nightmare because they don't answer their phones or reply to your messages or emails.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Secret
