Don't bilsteins have a lifetime warranty? I hear you can send them back and they will rebuild. Never done it . Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 15, 2015, at 7:03 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > Got my “Bilstein” shocks from RockAuto today. > > They’re Meyle

You want to back that statement up with some substance? I’m just trying to decide what to do. Tough to do without some backup. Dan > On Oct 15, 2015, at 7:28 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > I would return them unless you were putting them on q cheap

Re: [MBZ] Meyle vs. Bilstein

Interesting. I opened one of the boxes, and they’re clearly Meyle, as the logo is stamped in the sides of the shock. Looks like a date code of 2008 of some sort. Nothing about COO, but it does say they’re from Germany on the box. Dan > On Oct 15, 2015, at 7:57 PM, Greg Fiorentino via

Re: [MBZ] Meyle vs. Bilstein

I think about 25 years ago, when I was a college student living on about $400/ month, my '63 beetle handled very poorly. I consulted with the local parts house guys, and their VW expert determined I needed new rear shocks. I'm pretty sure the brand name started with an M, may have been Meyle.

Re: [MBZ] Meyle vs. Bilstein

Re: [MBZ] Meyle vs. Bilstein

Agreed, and there’s no problem with me returning them for a full refund, so I’m not worried about it. I’ve found a number of references to Meyle shocks on BMW forums, and they’re not bad. It’s funny, as they often talk about how crappy Meyle’s suspension parts like LCAs and other stuff are,

Re: [MBZ] Meyle vs. Bilstein

IDK the answer, but I'm curious if they show country of manufacture. That information would give some idea. I've purchased front end parts from them labeled "Duralast" (Autozone house brand) on the box, but manufactured by Moog. Good stuff very cheap. Greg -Original Message- From:

[MBZ] Meyle vs. Bilstein

Got my “Bilstein” shocks from RockAuto today. They’re Meyle shocks, with a label on the end of the boxes that says, “Bilstein replacement” and the Bilstein and Meyle part numbers. I have no reason not to believe they’re perfectly fine to put on the car, but I would be interested to know if
