FX3 Bilstein shocks PN please
Hey All, I need to some help with some part numbers for bilstein shocks that fit my 91.
I need Bilstein part numbers for front and rear Bilstein adjustable shocks with a FX3 suspension.
A forum member has a set that I'm super interested in and I just want to double check numbers. Thanks!

I think Summit has them for $250. You can shop around but I haven't seen them go for less than $200. Give Summit a buzz. What do you expect for a lifetime warranty? They didn't even bother to test them before they sent out a new set when I had a leaky shock and sent in the other one.

I thought I read somewhere Bilstein can rebuild them and warranty them.

I paid for new ones and 10 years later ,when 1 of the 2 fronts leaked, I got a pair of new front shocks. IDK if the cheap service will do it for lifetime.

This is true. New Bilstein FX3 shocks are unavailable and the parts guys have had them on back order for months. I call around and the parts houses keep "sliding" delivery dates as Bilstein keeps delaying.
Even rebuilding is a bad option. From what I understand, Bilstein will rebuild old shock but the process is weeks and is a low priority in their internal system.
