Anyone have any experience here? I sent a set of PSS9's out for a re-build about a week ago. Fedex confirms delivery and signature.



*****Updated***** 3-4 weeks total turn around.

 

Mine were supposed to take a few weeks and took a couple of months. I've heard the same from several people.

 

Thank you Sir. Not what I wanted to hear, but appreciate the intell.

 

I bought a set of MR Bilsteins over a year ago and had the previous owner ship them straight to the Bilstein facility. I called them in advance to let them know that they were coming and called again to confirm that they arrived. After ~3 weeks, I got a call from them saying that they finished revalving the dampers. That was my experience with them. Hope that helps.

 

2.5 weeks for me

 

Juan from Bilstein called me today. He was out because of a family emergency and backed up at the shop. Super helpful, nice guy, now I feel like a douche. Looks like it will be about 3.5-4 weeks total turn around. Happy

 

Just out of curiosity how much does it cost to rebuild a set of Bilstein Struts?

 

It should be $75 per strut, $65 per shock, assuming they haven't changed the pricing since last September

 

Hmmmm,

I've been daily driving my PSS9s for awhile now, how do you know when they need a rebuild? I'm planning to start autoxing next year after a several year hiatus..

Thanks.

 

A simple test is to push directly on the car where the strut/shock is and see if if comes up instantly or bounces for a bit. If its bouncy then they are probably blown. You can also check the struts/shocks themselves by checking for traces of oil that may have leaked. Clunking noises from struts/shocks can also indicate that they need to be rebuilt.

 

He said the exact same thing to me in May...

After Bilstein said it would take 4 months and tried to sell me a new set of PSS9's instead of a rebuild, I shipped my coilovers to Stewart Development.

 

Hmmm not good to hear since when the time comes the PSS9s are on my daily....

 

Thanks for the info. I don't think mine are too bouncy, but they do clunk...

Gotta figure something out since this my DD as well.
