For those who have Bilsteins I'm curious about the shock on the far right. Maybe I'm clueless and everything is fine but I've never done a spring and shock swap so I'm not sure if is suppose to look like this. They seem to be the rears. Looks a lil odd why one shock is longer than the other? The left one seems fine. But the shock on the far right has a different mount, part number & length. Also, what about those blue rubber covers, am I suppose to have only one?

Rear Shocks

Shock on the Left is #F4-B46-1121-HO Typ 7/-.
Shock on the Right is #F4-B46-1121-HO. (why does this look different?)

Looks like the mounting is different on the two. Sooo...am I suppose to supply myself with the bolt & nut and scratch my head looking at one long shock? My stock shocks resemble the Bilstein on the Left. Very bizarre why the two would de different but just thought I'd check before I start ripping everything apart.

Thanks,

Shocks 1 - 3 from the left are the correct pieces.

The last shock all the way on the right (#4 from the left) is an oddball. It sure dosen't look like anything for our cars.

I assume you got these from Sam? Give him a call tomorrow. He'll get to the bottom of this with Bilstein and make it right.

 

Yea, I'll call him tomorrow and see what's up. The order has already been through hoola-hoops and I'm kinda bumbed out. From what I understand the revalves come directly from Bilstein so I guess it's not Sam's fault. Anyhow..I guess this gives me more time to clean out my garage.

 

The oddball shock is not a B46-1121. Looks to me like the sticker says 1221 on it, but I can't really see.

Regardless that's not a Camaro shock of any type, front or rear. Call here and speak to Arlyn (I'll be gone most of the day), she'll get you fixed up.

And you are right, the shocks come from Bilstein. It was apparently packaged incorrectly.
