Leaking Bilstein
Hi all,
My drivers front Bilstein Sport shock is leaking (not weeping) oil.
The shock has 18K miles on it and the passenger side is fine.
What's the scoop on this?
Rebuild both fronts (replace as sets I have read in the manual).
Rebuild one.
Junk it and buy another set and send the one in for rebuilding.
Is there even a warranty?
What would you do?

They are warranteed for life but you need the receipt as they don't keep those records in house. What model is it? Maybe someone can help you by using thier paperwork to claim the warranty and ship you the new when it arrives.
