Bilstein TC Shocks

If you are offered the Bilstein Touring shocks - walk away! They are a "price point" product mfg in the 3rd world and I have had a number of problems with fitment on several Euroipean makes.

Example- Volvo 240's- the rear shock mounting eyes are too large allowing play and an annoying "tick" or "knock" develops that won't go away and cannot be "shimmed" away.

Bilstein USA knows about this problem but will not do anything about it.

Went back to Bilstein Pros and problem solved.

BTW- All of the Bilstein TC shocks offered on Ebay suffer from this problem and it is well documented on a number of European car forums.
