owner whose installed Bilston shock
does is come with just a rubber bushing and big washer? and you suppose to use stock bolts to install it? That is all i have, see pix below....I bought it used. Can i installed it with just what i have? Should the big washer sit under the bushing then the boot and finally the c-clips (all of this is the bottom part)? thanks

Yes on the stock hardware but you should have more than one bushing/washer per shock.
Ooops, not totally accurate. Each shock comes with a nylock nut also but your right, use stock bolts.

Looks like you have everything below the boot. Is there a c-clip on the shaft that keeps the washer from falling off? The boot also clips down over it,
I guess that you could use the stock upper mount bushings & washers although Bilstein supplies new ones. I would get some nylock nuts though.

yes, there is a c-clip on each of them. So everything should be the bottom right? You mention the boot (the blue piece in the pix?) should be underneet the c-clips? Thanks for your help

Yup, looks like you have everything for the bottom of the shock. The boot just slips down over the top of the c-clip. That bushing, in the pic, is your downward suspension bump stop. :thumbs:
